The Big Walk 2026 | Registration Now Open
Bridging the Gap | Sunday 19th April
Join Parkinson’s Queensland for The Big Walk 2026, our flagship community fundraising event dedicated to raising awareness, funding vital services, and supporting Queenslanders living with Parkinson’s and related neurological conditions.
Taking place in Brisbane on Sunday 19 April 2026, The Big Walk brings together individuals, families, carers, health professionals and supporters to walk in solidarity and help create meaningful change.
This year’s theme, “Bridging the Gap,” reflects our commitment to closing the gaps that people living with Parkinson’s often face — gaps in support, access to services, education and community connection.
An Inclusive Event for Everyone
The Big Walk is designed to be accessible and inclusive, ensuring people of all ages and abilities can take part.
Participants can choose from three route options:
The Big Walk – Approx. 16km
Our full walk experience following the Brisbane River, bringing the community together for a powerful show of support.
Community Walk – Approx. 7km
A shorter and social route perfect for families, friends, support groups and corporate teams.
Inclusive Walk – UQ Athletics Track
A safe, accessible option at the UQ Athletics Track, designed for participants who prefer a flat and controlled environment while still being part of the event.
No matter which option you choose, every step helps raise awareness and vital funds for Parkinson’s Queensland.
Why Your Support Matters
Funds raised through The Big Walk 2026 help Parkinson’s Queensland continue to deliver:
• Support groups across Queensland
• Education and health programs
• Information and guidance following diagnosis
• Support for families and carers
• Community awareness and advocacy
• Investment in research and improved quality of life
Together, we are bridging the gap between diagnosis and support, ensuring no Queenslander faces Parkinson’s alone.
