About Us
The challenging race starts with a 500m sand start from the Dee Why Surf Club and
winds its way via the back streets along the beaches providing the participants
with some spectacular scenery along the way. The traditional end 13km later at local
pub icon, The Newport Arms Hotel, is always a winner when entrants are joined by
family and friends join the party atmosphere for your favourite refreshment and bite to eat
to celebrate another year's Pub-to-Pub completion.
This years run aims to be bigger, better and more fun than ever before and hopes
to raise $100,000 for local charities including the local Surf clubs, local Hospitals,
SES and NSW Rural Fire Service and other charities.
"Since resuming six year ago, the race is growing from strength to strength with 2009
at full capacity delivering a race record of 3,500 entrants. In 2010, we will be
limiting entries to 4,000, but we encourage everyone to enter early to avoid disappointment
as the race was FULL 2 weeks prior to our close last year," commented race organiser
Phil Jackson.
"Our 'teams challenge' award was a huge success in 2009 and is open to all companies,
schools, sports teams, charities or just a group of friends, who all vie for $3,500
in cash available for donation to their favourite charity. Additionally Bendigo Bank's
'$1,000 Best Dressed prize' encourages all to don the craziest and wackiest clothes.
