Start the countdown... The night you’ve all been waiting for is nearly here!
We can’t wait to have you join us for Up All Night, WA's only walking marathon, supporting WA families with sick kids.
Please take the time to read through the Event Info page to ensure you get everything you can out of one of the most amazing nights of the year. It’s going to be epic!
Where to meet?
It all begins at the IGO Start / Finish Line at Ozone Reserve, East Perth, which you can find on Google Maps below.
What to expect on the night?
For safety Up All Night participants will walk in 2 different waves. This means 2 different starting times for the 2 different waves of walkers!
Walkers will be sent details of their individual start time (aka wave time) via email on Tuesday 18 March.
Here is a schedule of what to expect before and after your walk.
Before the walk
Please arrive promptly for your wave time. We suggest arriving with enough time to meet up with fellow walkers and teammates to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the countdown to your walk. If your organisation has provided a banner, it will be located near the start/finish line so you can easily find your workmates!
There will be a DJ playing tunes to get you excited and pumped up for the walk ahead! Plus food and coffee trucks so you can have last-minute food or refreshments before you set off.
If you still need to collect your event pack, the registration desk at the HQ Zone will be open from 6:30pm on event day.

Can't walk in the wave you've been assigned?
If you'd like to change the wave you're in, email us at team@upallnight.org.au and we'll do our best to help you.
What's the best way to get to the start/finish line? And is there parking?
We recommend participants and volunteers taking public transport into the city, use a taxi or rideshare service, or see if a friend or family member can drop you off at the starting point!
For safety reasons, we don't recommend you drive home after completing your Up All Night walk.
Parking
If you do need to drive and leave your car in the city during the event, we recommend using one of the secure carparks run by City of Perth or Wilson Parking.
The closest carpark to the start/finish line:
What items should I bring on the night?
We suggest bringing a “waist bag” with you to carry the essentials:
- ID, bank card & Medicare card
- Light jacket / jumper to keep you warm while you may be stationary at times
- Phone + portable power bank phone charger
- Lip balm
- Water bottle
- Sunglasses (for in the morning)
Our pit stops will provide you with lights snacks and water-refills plus a few surprises along the way. However, if you do have particular dietary requirements, we recommend you bring your own food to get you through.
Will there be an area to store some items at the start/finish line?
There will not be any storage facilities at the start/finish line or pit stops. We encourage you to pack light for the walk, so you don’t have anything heavy weighing you down!
How long will it take to walk the course?
How long it takes to complete the Up All Night course will really depend on your walking pace. Most teams aim for a 10-hour completion time. Walkers start in waves (there are 2 waves). Walkers will be notified of their wave in the Event Info email you'll be sent on Tuesday 18 March.
Can my friends and family come to the starting line/finish line?
Absolutely! We highly encourage friends and family to come down to the HQ zone to cheer you off and/or welcome you back when you cross that finish line.
