FAQs

The choice is all yours! We designed this challenge to be flexible, so you're welcome to walk, run, ride, swim, roll, row (or anything or activity you want) your way through the 5km. The most important thing is that you're moving and making a difference!

This challenge is all about what works best for you! If you prefer to cover the entire 5km in one continuous stretch, go for it! Alternatively, you're welcome to divide the distance into smaller segments—perhaps some in the morning and some in the evening. The key is to complete the daily 5km in a way that fits into your lifestyle.

While the challenge is designed to encourage you to complete 5km daily, we understand life happens. If you miss a day, you're welcome to make up for it by adding a few more km's the following day. The goal is to make the challenge work for you while staying committed to the cause.

You would have received a calendar to download and keep track of your daily 5km. It is also available in the Facebook Group or to download from the Resource section of your fundraising page. 

For added convenience, consider using a fitness watch if you have one, as it's a great way to automatically keep track of your k's. 
 
Alternatively, there are several smartphone apps available that can help you monitor your exercise. While these apps are not officially endorsed by Dementia Australia, they can be a useful tool.  Remember, the best tracking method is the one that keeps you motivated and accountable throughout your journey!
