Celebrating community, resilience and impact at MS Walk Run + Roll 2026

The 2026 MS Walk Run + Roll events brought together thousands of people across Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne to celebrate the strength, resilience and diversity of our incredible MS community.

This year, more than 5,000 participants walked, ran or rolled their way around our 5km and 10km courses, united by a shared commitment to supporting people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Whether participants joined to achieve a personal best, enjoy an active morning with friends and family, or show their support for a loved one, every step made a difference.

A standout moment of 2026 was in Melbourne, where 181 participants made MS Walk Run + Roll history by taking part in our very first half marathon. Their determination and enthusiasm helped create a memorable milestone for the event and highlighted the growing passion within our community.

The excitement extended beyond the course, with Sydney welcoming weatherman James Tobin and the Weekend Sunrise crew, who captured the energy and spirit of the event live on television, helping share the impact of MS Walk Run + Roll with audiences across Australia.

The sense of community was evident everywhere. A total of 667 teams came together this year, with participants tackling the course alongside friends, family members and colleagues. Whether taking on the challenge as a team or pursuing individual goals, everyone came together in the Event Village afterwards to celebrate their achievements and the difference they were making.

And of course, it wouldn't be MS Walk Run + Roll without our four-legged supporters. This year, 318 furry friends joined the fun and completed the course alongside their humans, bringing plenty of smiles and enthusiasm to the day.

Beyond the finish line, the impact of the event continues to grow. Together, participants, donors and supporters have raised more than $790,629 so far. These vital funds will help support the more than 37,700 Australians living with MS, ensuring that no one has to face the challenges of the condition alone.

As Rania, National Ambassador for the MS Walk Run + Roll, shared:

“The thing I love most about the MS Walk Run + Roll is the amount of people that come together to show people like me living with MS that we are definitely not alone and that even through the hard times we can still have a great day raising money for a really important cause."

The success of MS Walk Run + Roll 2026 is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when communities come together with purpose. Every participant, volunteer, donor, sponsor and supporter played a role in making this year's events so special.
