Entries have closed and fees are due for the fundraising walk which begins on Thursday, March 7.
Sarah Knowles and fellow organiser Toby Barons say they have received entries this year from walkers from throughout Australia.
The Cargo to Grenfell Walk was first held in 2017 when a group of 10 enthusiastic participants took part in a trial.
Last year was an even bigger success, exceeding Mrs Knowles' and Mr Barons' goal of raising $10,000, by more than $3500.
The objective for 2019 and beyond is to continue to grow in both numbers and impact, with the hope to help improve the lives of people affected by mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and suicide.
The walk starts with a briefing at the Cargo Inn at 11am on March 7.
Leaving Cargo at noon, walkers have until 5pm to complete the first stage before being picked up by a safety vehicle and transported to Canowindra.
Walkers leave Canowindra the following morning and again have until 5pm to get to Gooloogong.
The third stage leaves Gooloogong Hotel at 7.30am finishing at 5.30pm. Refreshments will be available at the finish line and a function will be held at 7pm at the Grenfell Golf Club.
If anyone is interested in becoming involved in the event in 2020 and requires more information please see the website www.c2gwalk.com or contact event organiser Toby Barons at c2gwalk@gmail.com.
