Do I need to complete steps, or group walks to be part of Queensland Walks Week?

No, you don’t need to complete a set number of steps, minutes or kilometres to be part of the week! Whilst we encourage you to aim for 10,000 Steps per day or at least 30 mins of walking, Queensland Walks Month is about celebrating walking, encouraging you to notice your walking environment, and discover ways that we can improve the conditions for walking.

Do I need to be in a team or group to participate?

No! You need to register and participate in Queensland Walks Month as an individual, AND as a group if you would like to be eligible for both individual and the team prizes. It is not a requirement to be in a team or group however. We encourage each individual group or team member to register.

Do I need to submit my walking photo, video or walking story?

No you don’t have to submit any of your walks, however if you would like to be eligible to be in the weekly random prize draw, you will need to follow our competition Terms and Conditions. See further instructions on how to submit or upload below.

My work team now works from home, or group walks remotely, can we still be part of a team or group for Queensland Walks Month?

Yes! One of the great ways to connect with your team or group is by participating in Queensland Walks Month and sharing your photos, video or story online. We know that the workplace has changed, and we think Queensland Walks Month is a great way to stay connected to friends and colleagues. Don’t forget to register individually, and as a team to be involved.

What is Queensland Walks Month designed for?

Queensland Walks Month is designed to improve the health of Queenslanders by encouraging walking every day, promote better walking environments for all and connect the wider Queensland walking community. Queensland Walks Month has a focus on walking for transport, recreation, health, tourism and community connection as well as a call to action in support of more walkable spaces and places in our local communities.

Queensland Walks Month is a free, state-wide, community-based initiative for all ages and abilities together. Anyone can get involved and register as an individual and in groups such as families, friends, workmates, clubs and organisations. All participants are eligible for a range of fantastic prizes (see terms and conditions).

Can I donate my prizes to a charity or cause?

Yes, you can. The winning team in 2020 generously donated their winnings to Rosie’s street van in 2020! If you are one of the lucky prize winners, you are welcome to discuss how this might work. The design of the catered lunch is to support local hospitality that may have been negatively impacted over the last year. By supporting local, you are also helping improve the walkability of your local neighbourhood.

How do I get in contact with the organisers?
