INFORMATION FOR CANCER COUNCIL WA ‘THE LONGEST DAY’ ON ROTTNEST ISLAND 2026

What an incredible achievement in 2025!!! In just its third year, The Longest Day on Rottnest Island broke the all-time Australian fundraising club record. Considering this event has been running nationally for 13 years and last year over 300 clubs participated, it is very special accomplishment. The success comes down to so many factors, including the sponsors, the volunteers, the donations, that ‘Rottnest’ feeling, but most importantly, the PARTICIPANTS and the REASON WHY we compete in such a gruelling challenge.

In 2025 we raised $129,454. Over the past 3 years, we have raised $213,129. This money goes directly to Cancer Council WA to assist research, prevention and support to Western Australian’s affected by cancer. The event is more than just fundraising. It has turned into an event for anyone that has been affected by cancer to contribute something positive to a worthy cause. The camaraderie, shared experiences and small amount of healing, make this event something very special.

We now have the challenge of making 2026 even bigger. How can this even be possible? Well.... It starts now and it starts with all of us. If you know of anyone who you think would like to be a part of this event, please pass this information onto them ASAP. Accommodation is, and will always be our biggest challenge, but we have put some arrangements in place to make it possible. Please read this information carefully. The booking date for this event is Wednesday March 4th.

With Gratitude,
