ON THE DAY

  Bring a hat and water bottle, with refill stations available. Free sunscreen will be provided.
  
  Pre-register for this event. It will allow you more time to enjoy the pre-march activities. Please allow time for parking.
  
  After the March, be sure to stay and enjoy a cold drink and live music at the Beach Bar, Noosa Main Beach. All part of the Noosa Festival of Surfing.
THE ROUTE
- A 3.6km leisurely walk with lots of shade and views of the surf! We will commence by walking north along Noosa Main Beach on the hard sand, then turning around at the first breakwall back along the sand. Then along the iconic boardwalk from First Point to Nationals Car Park and back.
NEW LOCATION
- This year, we’re excited to announce that the twilight March will be part of the Noosa Festival of Surfing on Sunday, 6 March. For 30 years this event has attracted the world’s best surfers and by working together this year, we will help raise further awareness about melanoma and raise funds for our vital life saving research.
COVID SAFE
- Melanoma March Sunshine Coast will be in line with current COVID restrictions. This continues to be a highly dynamic situation and we will continue to adapt and adjust as appropriate. Further details about what to expect and measures that will be in place will be added here closer to the event.
  
  Even though there may be some slight changes, Melanoma March Sunshine Coast is still the same important cause and a chance for us to come together safely.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
- MIA and the Melanoma March committees are closely monitoring the weather. Melanoma March will go ahead if it is raining, but not if conditions are unsafe. The safety of all participants is paramount. A decision will be made on the Friday before each event, and we’ll notify registrants via email and SMS if the march has been cancelled.
