2023 Walking Off The War Within -  Community Walks

Walking Off The War Within has transformed from one man’s movement to a series of events, where people of all ages and fitness levels get together and walk and talk about ending the stigma that is often associated with mental health.

WALKING OFF THE WAR WITHIN IN DARWIN 2023

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

On Saturday 16 September 2023, you can be part of Walking Off The War Within in Darwin 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.

The day is designed for families to enjoy together. We're planning to have activities for kids to enjoy as well as a BBQ lunch. The course is at East Point Reserve, a great space and scenic 5km walking track. The course is a 5km loop around East Point Reserve.

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 a local charitable organisation that works in the field of mental heath and suicide prevention.
