This year, MS Queensland is proud to return the MS Moonlight Walk to its home at Roma Street Parkland!

Step into the enchanting moonlight, as you join us for either a 1KM, 2.5KM, 5KM or 7.5KM walk or 7.5KM run through the beautiful Roma Street Parkland to shine a light on neurological conditions.  

As the sun dips below the horizon, the parklands transform into a picturesque haven, illuminated by the gentle glow of twinkling stars above. The air is filled with anticipation and excitement as participants gather, united by a common cause; together we will shine a light on neuro! 

Embark on a meaningful journey along winding pathways adorned with fresh flowers, trickling fountains and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered around every corner.  

With each step, you'll be making a difference! 

Whether you're walking solo, with friends, or as part of a team, every stride brings us closer to our fundraising goals and towards a brighter future for our community.

When you arrive, head to the celebration lawn to enjoy the Moonlight Festival before you head out on your walk or run! Here you can grab a bite to eat, listen to some live music and interact with some of the exciting activites avaliable.
