For some great fun, join in the 'Manly Scenic Fun Run' which gets underway next Sunday (22 May) from 8.00am, starting from North Steyne Surf Lifesaving Club (where the run will also finish).

The 'Manly Scenic Fun Run' is open to all – kids in school groups, families, mums and dads, uncles and aunts, budding athletes, seasoned competitors, sports club members and seniors too!

There’s the chance to win some fantastic prizes and everyone who participates gets a free t-shirt to commemorate the event!

You decide whether to walk or run for two kilometers, five kilometers, or ten kilometers. It’s your choice.

Through the Manly Fun Run, the Rotary Club of Manly Sunrise aims to raise funds to support the many State-wide charities that have made Manly their home, including Bear Cottage hospice for young children and their families; Manly Hospital; Pioneer Clubhouse; Stewart House residential facility for children with additional needs; The Royal Far West Scheme and the Manly Women’s Shelter.
