What is Dusk to Dawn?
Dusk to Dawn is an overnight 42km walking challenge from North Sydney to Bondi, where every step helps children in emergencies.
You’ll walk through the night, cross the Harbour Bridge, and experience the city in a completely different way, finishing at sunrise alongside a community taking on the challenge together.
As part of the experience, you’ll raise funds to support UNICEF’s lifesaving work for children affected by conflict, disasters and crisis. Every dollar raised helps deliver essentials like clean water, medical support and protection when it’s needed most.
Whether you take part on your own, with friends or as a team, you’ll be part of something bigger, turning an unforgettable personal challenge into real impact for children.
