ABOUT THE WALK
This is not your average charity walk.
On September 26th, we're hitting the streets of Toronto in our underwear (whatever version makes you feel your best!) to raise critical funds for women’s below-the-belt health. Not because it’s a stunt. Because it’s a statement.
Women’s below-the-belt health — from menstruation to menopause — has been underfunded, under-researched, underdiagnosed, and under-discussed for decades. The Down There Affair exists to change that. With every kilometre walked and every dollar raised, we’re demanding better research, better care, and a louder conversation.
“We may lace up in our skivvies, but what we’re doing is dead serious.”

Choose Your Challenge
Two distances. One mission. Pick the one that’s right for you — both count, both matter, and both end at the party!
7km — The Strut.
It takes an average of 7 years for a woman to get diagnosed with endometriosis. You’ll walk through the heart of the city, hit every strength stop and cross the finish line ready to celebrate.
12km — The Full Exposure.
The average age that a girl gets her first period is 12 years old. Same route, same strength stops, extended distance. If you’ve been looking for a reason to push yourself — this is it.
We're not just walking.
Strength Stops
We know how important it is for women to build muscle as they age so along both routes, you’ll find Strength Stops. Think bodyweight exercises that will get you back on the route feeling stronger! They’re built for all fitness levels — you don’t need to be an athlete to participate, you just need to show up.
The EXPOsed After-Party
The walk ends, but the party doesn’t!
Cross the finish line and walk straight into the EXPOsed After-Party — our celebration of community, boldness, and the women we did all of this for.
What’s waiting for you:
- Live DJ (yes, we'll be dancing)
- Vendors and activations
- Food & drinks
- And more!
