Each participant is required to fundraise at least $100 but once you get started, you will find it easier than you think, if you've never done a fundraising event before. Remember, we're here to help so if you have any questions, just reach out. Each participant who raises at least $100 will receive a small gift at the end of the walk.

100% of donations from the BDO Arrow Experience will go directly to the Donate for DaNi campaign. This is made possible by our social enterprises, which generate profits that cover our operating costs, ensuring charitable donations have the greatest impact.

The BDO Arrow Experience has partnered with the Great Barrier Reef Masters Games (GBRMG) 2025 to create a combined event, blending our fundraising walk with a competitive trail run. The event is organised by the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation, with promotional support from Cairns Regional Council.

Under the GBRMG banner, the BDO Arrow Experience is classified as a trail run/walk. Participants in the competitive trail run must register through GBRMG, which includes the Games registration fee. This grants access to the full GBRMG experience, including accreditation, a Games bag, towel, hat, and entry into social events.

For those joining the non-competitive trail walk or participants under 18, registration is managed separately through the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation. 

You can register for the event by clicking the register button on the top of the page. 
However if you wish to compete in the trail run, you will need to register via the Great Barrier Reef Master Games website here: https://www.gbrmg.com.au/sports/trail-running 

Participants should arrive at the Yellow Arrow car park at 6am for check-in and the pre-race briefing. Competitors running the course will start from 7am. Those doing the long course should be ready to jump on the bus to take them to the start location.

The Trail walk race start time will be from 7.45am. 

Check-in will take place at the Yellow Arrow car park, where participants will receive their race bibs and timing chips (for competitive runners).

All participants signed up to the event will need to sign in before starting the walk/ run and sign out once completing the trails.
