Can
children be part of the team?
Walk and Talk 4 Kids is a family event designed
to give families an opportunity to talk and walk, so children are very
welcome to attend.
What
happens if it’s raining?
Walk and Talk 4 Kids goes on – rain, hail
or shine. Dress appropriately! It will still be great fun. There is some
shelter at the track, but bring appropriate wet weather gear just in case!
Do we walk
the whole time?
You can walk as many or as few laps as you
want.
Are
vehicles allowed on the track?
All vehicles are prohibited from the track
without permission from the committee. Child strollers and wheelchairs are
allowed. We suggest contacting the organisers before the event to determine
restrictions.
Can I bring my dog?
Dogs and other pets are not permitted at the
Walk and Talk 4 Kids event. Please do not bring your dog/pet to the venue
as they will not be allowed into the venue. Naturally, guide dogs are an
exception to this rule.
Will food be
available?
Local sporting clubs will have meals and snacks
available for sale; however you are welcome to bring your own.
Please remember to bring a water bottle.
Will first
aid be available?
Qualified First Aid officers will be in
attendance for the entire event.
How does
lap counting work?
Lap counting works on an honour system, with
participants counting their own laps. It should be noted that this is not a
race and the emphasis for this event is on fundraising to for the Resilient
Kids Program and to talk with your own families and enjoy the walk!

How does
sponsorship work?
You can get sponsorship for
each lap you complete, eg if someone sponsors you for $2 per lap and you
complete 25 laps then you have raised $50 from that person.
Sponsors may also choose to donate a set amount eg
$20, no matter how many laps you walk.
Complete the details of all of your sponsors, collect
the money, and send a cheque and completed form to:
Wesley Mission Melbourne

Once we have the sheet and the money we will then send
out receipts to your sponsors.
