How long is the Dove Pink Star Walk?
The Dove Pink Star Walk will be a fun and unique 5km stroll through the Sydney CBD at night, starting in the Royal Botanic Gardens and winding round a beautiful scenic route past the Sydney Opera House, through Circular Quay and finishing at Darling Harbour.
What time does the Dove Pink Star Walk start and finish?
The Dove Pink Star Walk commences at 8.15pm and you should complete the route by 10pm at the latest. We suggest you arrive before this time in order to prepare yourself for the walk and join in on pre-event festivities. The walk is a leisurely stroll and there will be no rush in completing the event - the route will be manned and lit until the last participant has finished. The route starts in the Parade Ground, within the Royal Botanic Gardens and finishes at Tumbalong Park in Darling Harbour. There will also be St Johns first aid personnel to assist walkers along the route.
What do I wear on the Dove Pink Star Walk?
All participants are encouraged to get their bras under the stars for the breast cancer cause through decorating a pink bra and wearing it on the evening (or on top of clothing is okay too!). Suggestions on how you can decorate your bra are included in your event registration pack. As well as the decorated bra, participants are encouraged to get into the Dove Pink theme and wear pink clothing and accessories. There will be prizes awarded on the night for the best decorated bras and costumes and for those adopting the pink spirit. We also recommend you wear comfortable shoes that are suitable for walking the 5km distance.
Am I allowed to take food and drink on the walk?
Yes, but we do advise that food and wrappers are kept to a minimum to control rubbish. Mt Franklin Water will also be provided on the night along the route and will be available free of charge for every participant.
There will also be a number of food stalls available in the start area.
