Fun run next Sunday

The Bay-to-Bay Fun Run between Woy Woy and Gosford waterfront will take place on Sunday, June 21.

The 12 km course starts off near Fisherman's Wharf in Woy Woy and continues along the shared pedestrian and bicycle path on Brisbane Water Dr, finishing off near Gosford Sailing Club.

Race director Ms Barbara Byrnes said a first, second and third place was awarded in various age categories from under 12-years to over 70-years.

"The Bay-to-Bay Fun Run is a wonderful opportunity for locals and visitors to the Central Coast to get fit, have fun and all for a fantastic cause," Ms Byrnes said.

"Proceeds raised from this year's run will go towards supporting the Shirley Shuttle which transports cancer patients to treatment centres on the Central Coast."

Ms Byrnes said anybody could enter the race since participants had the choice to run or walk the course.

The Bay-to-Bay Fun Run is an annual charity race organised by the Terrigal Trotters running group.

To enter the race, fill out an online entry form at www.terrigaltrotters.com.au/Bay_to_Bay/Home_Page.htm by June 17, or a $5 late fee will be added to the entry fee.
