Start your day with fresh air and fresh ideas! 🥾☕

Kickstart your morning with fresh air, great conversations, and a community of like-minded founders at Hike & Hustle! This ‘walk and talk’ networking event is the perfect way to connect with startup and small business founders, plus others from the innovation community, while getting those steps in.

Bring your prams, bring your doggos, and bring your best hustle – we’ll take a brisk walk through the beautiful Broadwater Parklands before wrapping up with a coffee catchup.

What to Expect:
🐾 Community Connection: Walk, chat, and bond with fellow entrepreneurs in a relaxed, energising environment.
🚶‍♀️ Walk & Talk: Swap ideas, share stories, and get inspired as we stroll beside the beautiful Broadwater.
☕ Coffee Meet-Up: End the walk with a caffeine boost and even more great conversations.

Agenda:
6:50 AM – Meet at Eight Fifty Espresso to grab a coffee (don’t forget the leash or pram!)
7:00 AM – Brisk group walk along the waterfront trail of the stunning Broadwater Parklands.
8:00 AM – Return to Eight Fifty Espresso for an additional catch-up and to re-energise for the day ahead.

Tickets:
FREE for GC Hub members, $10 for guests – your first coffee included. ☕

Get moving, make connections, and hustle smarter. See you bright and early! 🌅
