LEARN MORE ABOUT COASTREK SYDNEY
What is Coastrek Sydney?
Coastrek Sydney is a team-based charity walk Sydney event that takes participants on an iconic coastal route through some of the city’s most spectacular scenery. This unforgettable coastal charity walk challenges teams of two or more to train together and complete their chosen distance in one inspiring day.
All participants fundraise exclusively for Beyond Blue, helping ensure free, confidential mental health support is available anytime, day or night.
How does the Coastrek charity walk work?
Teams choose their distance, commit to training and fundraise in the lead-up to event day. Coastrek is not a race — it’s about teamwork, shared purpose and personal achievement.
Must-read tips for first-time Coastrekkers

Because every step is better shared
What are the mental health benefits of walking in Coastrek Sydney?
Coastrek Sydney delivers powerful mental health benefits of walking — both during training and on event day. While fundraising supports Beyond Blue, the experience itself supports the mental wellbeing of everyone who participates.
Training and event day take place outdoors along Sydney’s coastline. Research shows that time spent in nature can significantly reduce stress and improve mental health. Walking together also builds connection and belonging, creating a strong sense of community within teams and across the wider Coastrek event.
This shared journey builds confidence, resilience and friendships — all of which shine on event day.
