Melanoma March Melbourne is back in 2017 with Melanoma Institute Australia and Skin & Cancer Foundation Inc joining forces once again to raise money for national melanoma research. The March marks the 11th anniversary of March Against Melanoma™ (formerly March for Melanoma) which was originally founded by Louise White of the Emily Tapp Melanoma Foundation Inc in 2007.

Melanoma March has grown into a popular activity for the whole family. The short 4km walk commences from Lawn 3 in the King’s Domain Gardens and follows a complete loop of the Tan Track.

Registrations on the day open from 7:30am. Please make sure you give yourself enough time before the walk commences to check in. The march will commence at 9am.

Participating in Melanoma March is a great way to show your support for melanoma research, raise funds to find a cure and have a fun day out with your community. All funds raised will go towards crucial research dedicated to finding a cure for melanoma.
