FAQ

Q. Does each team member need to raise at least $100?
No. Whilst $100 per person is a RFL goal, it is certainly not essential. Some teams do their fundraising as a team instead of individually; in this case the team average per person should be $100 per person. Some people raise well over $100.
Q. Do all team members need to stay overnight at the track?
No. We understand that some people won't be able to stay for the whole event. We ask that team members try to stay at the track for as long as possible to support each other and share the relay roster, particularly late at night.
Q. Do I need to do a minimum number of laps or hours?
No. It's not a race or endurance test. We simply ask that teams have at least one person on the track at all times. You may choose to set personal goals or team goals. In 2005 three people walked the entire 24 hours. You can also walk in pairs or groups to make it more enjoyable.
Q. Can I take part in the 'Survivors Walk' and 'Candlelight Ceremony' without being on a Relay for Life team?
Yes. These ceremonies are the real highlights and we want to see as many people as possible taking part. Survivors and Carers wear coloured sashes during the opening lap of the event.
Q. Is there a minimum age for team members?
No. Children under the age of 18 can participate in any team that has at least four adults. We ask that all children must be supervised during the event.
Q. Are teams allowed to have visitors attend the event?
Yes. All visitors must sign in at the registration van if they intend to walk on the track or participate in any of the supplied activities. A parent or guardian must accompany all visitors under the age of 18 at all times.
