Clean Up Australia Day with Decathlon

Join us on Sunday 2nd of March for a fun-filled Clean up Day with fellow Decathletes!

This year, thanks to our partners Clean-Up-Australia and Kayak Melbourne, we offer you 3 options to take care of the beating heart of your beloved city: the Yarra River.

• Kayaking - Cruise & Clean the Yarra River. Only 40 spots available so get in quick!
• Walking - A family-friendly and meaningful morning activity on the river banks.
• Cycling - casually pedal down the river and leave the path shining behind you.

All groups are to meet on 1-7 Boathouse Drive, Melbourne VIC 3004. It is on the riverbank in front of the Kayak and Rowing Clubrooms/Boatsheds, opposite side of Fed Square.
