Starting Line 2007

About Us

The Pub2Pub Charity Fun Run and Walk is now in its 19th year and aims to raise much needed funds for local and other needy charities. This significant community charity event is proudly organised by the Rotary Club of Brookvale in conjunction with the Newport Arms Hotel.

The challenging race, founded in 1991 by Newport Arms, 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 Pub2Pub completion.

This year's run aims to be bigger, better and more fun than ever before and hopes to raise $150,000 for local charities including the local Surf clubs, local Hospitals, SES and NSW Rural Fire Service and other charities.

"Since resuming in 2004, the race has grown from strength to strength with 2010 delivering a full capacity race record 4,000 entrants. In 2011, we will be limiting entries to 5,000, 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, from Rotary Club of Brookvale.

"Our Teams Challenge was a huge success last year and we will again be offering $3,000 charity cash for all companies, sports teams, charities or just a group of friends. This year we also have a new Schools Challenge offering $3,000 in cash for the largest team entered by a school group. Additionally Bendigo Bank's 'Best Dressed Award' encourages all to don the craziest and wackiest clothes to win $1,000 for their charity of choice."
