Frequently asked questions

100K in 30 Days is a nationwide movement challenge organised by the Marie Keating Foundation, encouraging participants to complete 100 kilometres in 30 days while raising funds for cancer support services. That works out at just over 3km a day, but you can complete it in whatever way fits around your schedule.

Anywhere that is safe and convenient for you — parks, paths, treadmills, neighbourhood routes, or wherever suits your routine.

Participants take part at their own risk. The Foundation’s insurance does not cover personal injury or property. Please follow all safety guidelines and seek insurance advice if needed.
