The Beach2Beach Charity Fun Run is on again in 2024 and the Manly Warringah Waratahs Women’s and Men’s playing groups will once again enter a team.
As per previous years, our chosen charity partner is The Burdekin Association, one of our long time community partners, and we hope to raise a significant amount of money to help this very worthwhile cause.
This year’s event will be held on Sunday 25th August, with the run starting at Dee Why Beach and finishing at Newport Beach.
We first entered a team in 2019 and while we weren’t the biggest team, we were proud to raise more funds than any other team. After a hiatus for COVID we have continued to enter again and again, and have actually won various financial awards for the size of our team and amount of money that we have raised, all prize money being donated back to our charity partner, Burdekin.
Our community team has liaised with our women’s and men’s coaches, and the run is part of our official pre-season program. Our playing group is ready and raring to go.
All players will be participating, and we encourage members of the Manly Warringah cricket community to join us in the event under our banner. It doesn’t matter if you want to sprint, run, jog or walk. If you would like to join our playing group to help raise money for a great cause, please register as part of our team (use team code MWDCC) at http://raceroster.com/events/2024/82311/beach2beach-2024/register?team=669493 or contact our Community Manager Phill Edwards at philledwards@gmail.com or 0433 114411.
Burdekin is a fantastic local charity and one of our official club partners. We all know how big a problem homelessness is, we see it as a club on a weekly basis. Burdekin do amazing things in this space and we’re very proud to be working with them and helping in any way we can.
