Power Walk for Dress for Success

Dress for Success Worldwide, an international non-profit organisation that promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women, holds an annual Power Walk for Dress for Success event across its 130 affiliates in 40 cities worldwide, to bring fitness and empowerment to women globally. 

It is a 5km walk which promotes active, healthy lifestyle choices for women and families and serves as a "walking testament" to the inextricable link between personal health and professional success. The Power Walk for Dress for Success is the only international 5km walk dedicated to the promotion of an active, healthy lifestyle for women and families. Dress for Success Brisbane is one of 40 Dress for Success affiliates across the globe hosting this year's fundraising walk towards wellness, empowerment and self-defined success. The walk will take place at Newstead Park with all participants meeting at The Rotunda in the park for the 7:00am registration. The walk will consist of a 2.5km walk along the Brisbane River towards Teneriffe, and return to the park for the Brown Bag Brekkie, a stretch class, raffles and food stalls. Power Walk for Dress for Success shirts will be available to pre-registered walkers dependent upon stock availability. Don't forget to note your shirt size on the registration form. Shirts will be available for pick up from Monday 19/5 - Wednesday 21/5 between 9am - 4pm at 2/47 Anderson Street, Fortitude Valley 4006.
