5x5 Walking Program- Healthy Cities

Take a step towards a healthier and more active lifestyle with our FREE 5x5 program at Fairy Meadow this October - November!

5x5 is a free, non-competitive walking event for the whole community. Set out over a 5km route, the course is completed once a week for 5 weeks. This weekly walking group focuses on movement, wellbeing and social connection.

Each week we’ll meet at Fairy Meadow Surf Life Saving Club at 9:30am. From there, we’ll enjoy a gentle 2.5km walk through the beautiful Puckeys Nature Reserve, turning around at North Wollongong Surf Life Saving Club. We’ll then return to Fairy Meadow to complete the 5km loop.

Enjoy the chance to meet new people and chat with our friendly health promotion officers and volunteers. Light refreshments will be provided at the conclusion of the walk.

The event takes place on 5 consecutive Tuesday mornings:

• Tuesday 21 October, 9:30am - 11:30am
