10-12 July 2026: 60Km for 60 Years Sponsored Walk
Celebrating 60 Years of Service
In April 2027, the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club will celebrate 60 years of community service. Since our charter in 1967, we have donated more than $2.4 million to the community, including over $50,000 to causes in 2025/26.
Why We Need Your Help
To keep delivering services into the future, we need to refresh and renew the resources that support our projects. Our food trailers are now 25 and 30 years old, and our Den/Shed is no longer suitable as a practical and inclusive hub for community service activities. With grants, sponsorship and community support, we aim to fund the following priorities:
- Purchase a new food trailer to replace the two ageing trailers, helping the Club better serve the community and improve operating conditions for members.
- Remodel the existing Clubhouse, known as the Den, into a more functional and inclusive community hub for meetings, project activities, catering preparation and service events.
The Challenge: 60kms Over Three Days
To kick-off fundraising, Lions are ready to “walk the talk” with a challenging 60km sponsored walk from Mooloolaba to the Club’s Den/hub in Tewantin. The walk will take place over three days, with the team covering approximately 20km each day. Lion Steve will lead the way with his four-month-old replacement knee, joined by a team of Lions and supporters. Please see the schedule overleaf for the indicative three-day itinerary.

20-21 June 2026: Noosa Enduro
The Noosa Enduro is a cycle ride with a difference, for off-road bikes! There are a number of courses ranging from 6Km to 100Km, through Noosa National Park, Tewantin National Park and Ringtail Forest Reserve. Entrants can choose to race or to just cruise and take in the scenery.
The routes pass through Noosa National Park and Tewantin National Park.
We were marshalling at three points in Ringtail Forest Reserve. One of the marshalling points served refreshments to the competitors.
The weather was ideal, being warm but overcast but with no rain. However rain in the previous days meant some of the course was waterlogged so some minor diversions were needed.
23 May 2026: Runaway Noosa Marathon
The ASICS Runaway Noosa Marathon start and finish was in Noosa Heads Lions Park. This was our first time at this event, which we have taken over from Noosa Heads Lions Club. We therefore didn’t know what to expect and simply followed instructions from Noosa Heads Lions and the organisers.
We set up our food van on Thursday ready to open on Friday and Saturday. Friday proved to be very quiet with very few people on the field, although Hastings Street was buzzing. Saturday, however, was the day of the event and was extremely busy.
16 May 2026: Boat trip
Last year we won a prize for being best dressed at the Sunshine Butterflies Walk in Wings charity event. The prize was a two hour boat trip on the river, courtesy of Pelican Boat Hire. About 20 of us each brought food and snacks to be shared so we enjoyed the day out, which was very sociable and let us see from the water the fabulous scenery that surrounds the Noosa River.
29 April 2026: Tour of Sunrise Beach Village
Keyton Holdings invited us to view their new development of retirement homes at Sunshine Beach. They gave us a tour of the facilities to demonstrate the high quality of the construction and the great facilities offered to their clients, including a swimming pool, a cinema, a gym and a library. They explained that their more active residents might be potential future members of our club.
The tour ended in their restaurant where we we given coffee and snacks.
As a gesture of their appreciation they gave us a donation of $500.
25 April 2026: Anzac Day
While we took part in the Commemoration Service we also used our food van to serve snacks to the other participants and attendees. Later in the day we ran a barbecue to serve sausage sizzles to the crowd that had fun at the Two Up.
3 – 6 April 2026: Car Parking at Noosa Heads Lions Park
Noosa Council open the Noosa Heads Lions Park for car parking during peak holiday times. We collect payment on behalf of the council, assisted by Cooroy Woodworkers Club who direct the cars to ensure they park correctly.
All the proceeds go to Noosa Council, but they give us a proportion back in recognition of the many hours we spend collecting payments.
The car park was open from 3 – 5 April, but not on 6th because the field was waterlogged.
21 March 2026: Noosa Ultra-Trail
While some of our members we feeding surfers at the Festival of Surfing others were helping with marshalling at the Noosa Ultra-Trail. They helped make the event a success by directing traffic and generally interacting with participants and spectators.
The Trail has been developed to showcase the beautiful Hinterland region of Noosa by utilising a large section of the existing Noosa Trail Network which has been rebranded to the Noosa Biosphere Trail.
The Trail Network was developed over 20 years ago and has 8 interconnecting trails of different lengths and degrees of difficultly which form a circular loop from Lake MacDonald in the east to Kin Kin in the north to Cooran and Pomona in the West and then to Cooroy in the southern parts of Noosa Shire.
Since its development the Trail has only been promoted for walking, horse riding and mountain biking. Now we are bringing the sport of Trail Running!
In April 2020 a Masterplan was developed to upgrade many elements of the trail network with a focus on the trails in and around Pomona and the spectacular Mount Coorora.
With the growing popularity of trail running around the globe the opportunity presented itself to develop a Trail Running Festival by using the Noosa Trail Network as the basis of the routes.
