About this event

Brisbane Walking Off The War Within event is planned for Saturday 31 May, 2025 and we invite you to walk with us.

Here’s a bit about the walk.

WALKING OFF THE WAR WITHIN IN BRISBANE 2025

Let’s march as one and shine a light on positive mental health and wellbeing

On Saturday 31st May, from 8am be part of Walking Off The War Within in Brisbane and help fight depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Together, we can shake off the stigma associated with mental health.

Join Emergency Service Personnel, Defence Force Personnel and members of public to walk in memory of Nathan Shanahan, a returned solider and firefighter, and other fallen Service Men and Women who have taken their own lives after battling mental health issues. Nathan was a fierce advocate for mental health and PTSI; sadly, Nathan lost his battle in December 2016. Walking Off The War Within is one way Nathan’s legacy continues.

The Challenge – complete the ultimate 20km with 20kg or… walk any distance you can – with or without a pack.

A family event – The track is sealed and pram/scooter/bike friendly for the kids. The event can be a great conversation starter, sharing the day with your kids can help promote the understanding that physical activity keeps the body strong and healthy and can promote mental wellbeing. It’s good to know that the track is a short stroll from the Pelican Park play equipment, if all that walking gets too much!

The course – Starting at Pelican Park in Clontarf, the course will trace along the scenic Redcliffe foreshore to reach Scarborough and then make a return journey to Pelican Park. The course features designated 5km, 10km, and 20km turnaround points, along with support stations located along the way to assist participants.

Tickets – FREE or $10, $25 or donation – This is an inclusive event that is available to everybody. Registration is available for $0, $10, $25 or a nominated amount of your choice. Money raised through ticket sales will cover event running costs, with proceeds donated to SMEAC and Trek2Health.

MERCHANDISE – Purchase a TSHIRT and/or CAP at the event.
