General
What is Hike4Life?
Hike4Life is a fitness and fundraising challenge where participants log kilometres walked or hiked to support youth mental health and suicide prevention in rural and regional communities.
Hike4Life encourages people to move their bodies, challenge themselves, and come together to make a real impact — turning every kilometre into support for young people through Live4Life.
When & where is Hike4Life?
Hike4Life runs over 4 weeks from 1-28 April. You can complete your kilometres anywhere — on local walking tracks, coastal trails, mountain hikes, city streets, or even on a treadmill. Wherever you are, every kilometre counts.
How much does it cost to register?
It’s completely FREE to register.
