Sand Slog fun run planned

Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club will host a Sand Slog Fun Run on Sunday, September 28, to raise money for surf life saving equipment.

"The sand slog will be a fun way to bring in the new surf season," publicity officer Mr Greg Brown said.

"The run is open for all Peninsula residents and will raise money for surf life saving equipment for the upcoming season."

According to Mr Brown, the fun run will extend from one end of Umina Beach to the other, with conditions permitting.

"One lap is five kilometres and two laps for the more serious 10 kilometres," Mr Brown said.

"The two runs will be started at the same time at Umina Beach surf club, going south on the soft sand and then turning around and heading north onto the hard sand for the two-and-a-half kilometre run to the point.

"Then participants will turn to return to Umina Beach surf club on the soft sand.

"There will be medals for the first three places in each age group and also lucky door prizes." The run will start from 10am and presentation of awards at 12pm.

Entry is $15 per adult and $10 for children.
