The iconic bridge of the seven bridges walkers can cross to help fight cancer. OCTOBER is the perfect time of year to get active and slip on those walking shoes for a good cause. Registrations are now open for the fourth annual Cancer Council NSW Seven Bridges Walk which is to be held on Sunday October 31. The event is set to attract up to 20,000 walking enthusiasts who can walk all or just a portion of the 25km course that crosses Sydney Harbour's seven iconic bridges the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pyrmont Bridge, ANZAC Bridge, Iron Cove Bridge, Gladesville Bridge, Tarban Creek Bridge and Fig Tree Bridge. Feeling puffed at the thought of 25km walk? Never fear walkers can start and finish at any of the bridges and there will be free special event buses and ferries to return people to their starting points. Food, refreshments and entertainment will also be available at the seven bridge villages along the way. The event is set to open at 8am and finish at 5pm. Pets are also welcome to join walkers if they are on a leash. The Seven Bridges Walk hit the ground running in 2007 and was started up by the Pedestrian Council of Australia. This year, for the first time, Cancer Council NSW is a naming partner for the event and funds raised from donations and the $10 adult registration fee will go toward their vital cancer research, prevention, information and support services. Other proud Seven Bridges Walk supporting partners include Telstra, Asics, QBE, the NSW Government as well as media partner The Sunday Telegraph.
