500 KM Barefoot Beach Walk - NSW South Coast

NSW South Coast

Join them for an extraordinary journey of endurance, purpose, and community along one of Australia's most stunning coastal stretches. This November, Garry Sullivan is undertaking a monumental challenge: walking 500 kilometres completely barefoot along many of the breathtaking beaches of the NSW South Coast. This 500 kilometre trek isn't just a test of human resilience—it's a high-impact mission with a heartwarming goal. Every step taken on this journey directly raises funds for the final push to complete the construction of a dedicated school for underprivileged children in rural Sri Lanka. Stretching across sweeping sandy tracks, rugged shorelines, and vibrant coastal communities, this event invites supporters, walkers, and locals to follow the journey, cheer along the way, or donate to help finish the school. Experience the power of community, barefoot connection to nature, and grassroots charity in action along the beautiful South Coast. Anyone can join and walk with me in person, or you can walk barefoot along your patch of sand wherever you are on the planet. It is a team effort; let's make every barefoot step count. See you on the sand this November.
