Step-A-Thon - Melbourne
Step-A-Thon is a community fundraising event presented by Enactus University of Melbourne at the University of Melbourne Amphitheatre in Parkville, VIC. The event runs for three hours and is held in person; it is open to all ages and includes paid parking. The activity invites participants to run, jog, or walk at their own pace and distance to raise funds and awareness about food insecurity in Victoria.
The event is organised in partnership with Pentecost Care and Foodbank Victoria. One hundred percent of proceeds from registrations and donations are directed to Foodbank Victoria and Pentecost Care to support food relief efforts across the state. Participants can redeem tracked steps for free food and drinks from participating local vendors at multiple checkpoints. Named food partners include Redbull, Angela's Bakery, Cafe Carlton, and Meals with Impact.
The event description notes that the step-redemption program connects local food and drink vendors with the community while supporting relief programs. The stated refund policy is no refunds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
