What is the Pub2Pub Charity Fun Run and why community members should get involved?
The Pub2Pub Charity Fun Run & Festival is an iconic annual event on the northern beaches, now in its 26th year. Organised by Rotary of Brookvale, the sole purpose of the Pub2Pub each year is to raise much needed funds for worthy local charities. Across those 26 years, the event has raised over $3.5 million dollars for wonderful organisations including Life Education Australia, Northern Beaches Interchange (NBI), Surf Life Saving Northern Beaches, Without A Ribbon, Bear Cottage, Cerebral Palsey Alliance and Sunnyfield. HealthSpace members should get involved to help raise further funds for charity, but also because the event itself, run over the most picturesque course of any such event in Sydney, is just so much fun, with a true feeling of community spirit evident from the starting line to the big festival at the finish.
