COURSE
How will I know where the course is?
You can view the 2025 Course Map here.
You can also collect your Event Guide when you scan your ticket at your starting village on event morning. The Event Guide will contain important event information as well as a course map.
There will also be event signage and volunteer course marshals along the route to point you in the right direction.
Do I need to walk in a certain direction?
Yes, the course is set up for you to walk in a clockwise direction only to assist in safely managing the flow of walkers. People walking in an anti-clockwise direction will be classed as non-participants.
Will there be free buses on the day?
How long do you think it will take?
For a fit and active person to walk the course at a continuous brisk pace it will take about 4.5 to 5 hours. For someone with a moderate fitness level and/or stopping for breaks along the way it could take 6 to 8 hours. Each village will have a map showing where you are and the distance to the next village. Distances will also be noted in the Event Guide.
If you are attempting to complete the entire course, we strongly recommend that you start at your specified start time and no later than 10.30am, to finish before the 4.30pm course and Village closure.
Do you have any tips on walking the course?
Yes, here's a list of things to consider:
- Bring enough water for the day. You can top up your reusable water bottle at the villages along the course.
- Stay SunSmart and bring sunscreen, SunSmart clothing, sunnies and a hat.
- Wear comfy shoes you know you can walk far in.
- Bring easy energy boosting snacks such as bananas and mixed nuts. You will also be able to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the entertainment at each of the villages along the course.
- Remember to take breaks, especially if you are walking the whole course.
Please also look out for other people on the course route as this event uses public footpaths. Please keep to the left to allow others to pass and stay off the road.
What is the accessibility?
In organising 7 Bridges Walk we have made every effort to ensure the course is as accessible as possible. Unfortunately, due to the nature of some of the terrain, it is difficult to make the course completely accessible for everyone.
We suggest that participants who wish to use a stroller/pram or are in a wheelchair, have someone to assist them through their journey and investigate the various areas of the course where they would like to travel.
Please refer to the Course Map for the location of stairs and inclines around the course.
What is the distance between villages?
- Milsons Point Village – Pyrmont Village = 4.9km
- Pyrmont Village – Rozelle Village = 7.2km
- Rozelle Village – Hunters Hill Village = 4.9km
- Hunters Hill Village – Lane Cove Village = 5.1km
- Lane Cove Village – Wollstonecraft Village = 3.9km
- Wollstonecraft Village – Milsons Point Village = 2.3km
Why do I have to finish in a village?
This is the point at which you registered and started, so to fully complete the 28km course you must finish where you started. If you don’t finish at your starting village, you cannot receive your 'Completed' stamp.
I don't feel like eating the food on offer in the villages. Can I go to a local café and then rejoin the walk?
Yes, of course! As this is not a competition, you can leave the course for a break, lunch or fetch a drink at any time and re-join the course later.
EVENT DAY
What time does 7 Bridges Walk start?
You choose your starting time at your preferred starting village when you purchase your ticket. It is important that you stick to your starting village and timeslot.
The earliest starting time is at Milsons Point village at 7:00am. The course closes at 4:30pm. Registered participants commencing the event before 7.00am or completing the event after 4.30pm will not be considered a participant in 7 Bridges Walk outside of those course open hours.
Will the event be canceled if it is raining?
No, the event will not be canceled should the weather be wet. We do, however, advise that walkers bring wet weather gear should the weather forecast be for rain.

What is an Event Guide?
The Event Guide is an information booklet that you can collect as you cross the start line. The Event Guide will include the event passport, course information, as well as a course map.
You can collect a stamp at each bridge you walk over and each village you pass through. You can also collect a final stamp when you return to your starting village when you complete the full course.

Milsons Point and Pyrmont Villages are the nearest to hotel accommodation. Check hotel booking sites for accommodation options.

What should I bring on the day?
Bring the ticket that was emailed to you after registration. You can present this on your phone as you cross the start line at your starting village. Presenting this will also allow you to receive your Event Guide. You do not need to register or sign in prior to this, just line up at the start when your designated time slot is called.
We also recommend that you bring:

- Refillable water bottle.

Yes, dogs are welcome on the day, but must remain on a leash at all times, and please clean up any mess they make. There will be water bowls located at each village.
Please note that dogs will not be permitted on the event buses (assistance dogs excepted).
Please consider the forecast weather conditions.
Can I run in this event?
No. Cancer Council's 7 Bridges Walk is purely a walking event and does not accommodate any running. There are no major road closures for this event so everyone is to abide by normal pedestrian road rules. With everyone on footpaths abiding by the road rules and potentially a lot of people walking the course, trying to run through the crowd and across roads is going to be dangerous to you, other participants and the general public.
Can I ride my bike, skateboard or rollerblades etc. in this event?
No. Cancer Council's 7 Bridges Walk is purely a walking event and utilises public footpaths. Therefore bicycles, skateboards, roller skates and scooters are not permitted.
Is there parking available?
There will be no designated parking available for the event, only local parking. We advise you to check local street signs surrounding villages, but they fill up quickly.
What is available at each of the villages?
Each of the villages will provide you with information, first aid, water, toilets, food, refreshments, entertainment and free sunscreen.
How do I stay SunSmart?
Historical average temperatures for late October are low of 14°C and a high of 22°C, along with sunny days. Start early to avoid the heat of the day. Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide. Click here for more information about sun protection.
Cancer Council merchandise (hats, sunglasses, sunscreen) will be on sale on the day.
