She also said holding the event during NAIDOC week symbolised the community's acknowledgement of the Wiradjuri people.
"This walk gives us the opportunity to yangagagi yayalanha murun, meaning walk 'n' talk for life," she said.
The free event will be held at Lake Wallace with an 11am registration and 12pm start.
There will be a free sausage sizzle and live entertainment including a didgeridoo performance, dancing and a traditional smoking ceremony.
