What are the course options and course route?
How do I know which course is best for me?
We understand that participants will want to challenge themselves, and we encourage you to within reason! If you are intending on taking part in a course that you know you will find challenging, we urge you to please train in the lead-up. If you you would like to change your distance after you have registered, please email Matt mmichael@pif.com.au to advise of the change.
Where does the money I raise go?
By participating in Steps for Homeless Youth you will be raising funds for homeless youth.

What happens if myself or one of the members cannot raise the minimum fundraising amount?
We encourage all participants to do all they can to reach the minimum fundraising amount of $250. This is to ensure the event reaches its fundraising goals to fund the vital projects which help homeless youth. However, we wouldn’t stop the registrant from participating on the day if they are unable to reach the fundraising goal. The money can also be raised collectively as a team rather than individually to ensure all participants reach their minimum fundraising amount.
I have already signed up, but need to make changes to my registration.

If the event is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances out of our control, a full refund will be offered up until 14 days prior to the event. After this no refund will be given. If the event is postponed all registration fees will be transferred to the new date.
What happens in the event of bad weather?
We would hope to go ahead with the event if there was light rain. However in the event of inclement weather or any other factor affecting participant safety, the Property Industry Foundation, and the organisers, have the right to cancel the event to maintain participant safety. Any cancellation or changes to the event will be communicated in advance.
