On Sunday August 25th this year, the iconic Beach2Beach Charity Fun Run and Festival celebrates its 30th year of raising much needed funds for faboulus local charities on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Organised by the Rotary Club of Brookvale, over those 30 years, the event has raised over $5.5 million dollars for wonderful organisations including Life Education Australia, Northern Beaches Interchange (NBI), Surf Life Saving Northern Beaches, Without A Ribbon, Bear Cottage, OneEighty and Sunnyfield. The event has three course options, catering for everyone from serious runners to families – 13km from Dee Why Beach to Newport Beach; 6km from Warriewood to Newport Beach; and 3km from Mona Vale to Newport Beach. This is undoubtedly Sydney’s most scenic fun run, taking in many of the spectacularly beautiful Northern Beaches. A huge Family Festival is held at the Newport Beach finish line with live music, a licensed bar area, international food options and plenty of fun rides and games for the kids.
