2013 Chevron City to Surf for Activ – WA Series



Do you want to join WA's largest community event this year and burn those winter calories at the same time? Then register for the Chevron City to Surf for Activ and be part of Activ's major fundraising event and the second largest official timed race in the Southern Hemisphere.

With a rich 39-year history, the Chevron City to Surf for Activ has become an icon on the Western Australian sporting calendar, capturing the hearts of tens of thousands of people who have embraced the event. In 2012, naming rights sponsor Chevron Australia reported a record number of participants with 45,046 people taking part - raising in excess of $700,000 for more than 145 local charities. This included event owner and major beneficiary, the Activ Foundation , who have been providing a better life for people with disabilities since 1951.

This year's event is bigger than ever as it will roll out through statewide with the inaugural City to Surf WA Series and will be held on the following regions and dates:

Karratha: July 21
Geraldton: July 28
Albany: August 4
Busselton: August 11
Perth: August 25

Chevron City to Surf for Activ attracts children, families, teams and elites with a distance to suit everyone, no matter what age or fitness level. Each regional location will host a 12km Run/Walk, and 3km Run/Walk/Wheelchair building to Perth's Marathon, Half Marathon, 12km Run/Walk and 4km Run/Walk/Wheelchair. If you have the stamina and the will to sweep the series, you can take part in all five events and earn a WA Series Finisher Medal.



Be inspired also by numerous participants who will take part as individuals or teams to raise funds for their chosen charitable organisations. Participants can choose to raise funds for Activ or another charity close to their heart by creating their own fundraising page. For this year, the drive is towards the Appealathon Charity Challenge which is aimed at uniting Perth towards raising $1 million dollars for WA charities.

To register and get more information, go to the website .

Spending time to train for fitness and giving-up a sleep-in on a Sunday to join this exciting event promises to be a well-spent weekend moment. Just imagine yourself joining thousands of people "surfing" and uniting to raise funds for a noble cause and reaping the health benefits yourself. I once had the privilege of joining this iconic event and I always look forward to participating every year thereafter. I hope you'll be up for the challenge and I'll see you on the finish line.
