| Sat | 21 Aug | BIG BEACH CHALLENGE (NSW) This event has been a long time coming but has the potential to become a classic sand running/walking event in Australia. The event will include a run/walk course starting from Birubi Beach in Port Stephens and finishing at Stockton Beach. This is 32kms of sand. There will also be a 16km out and back walk from Stockton Beach for those who think 32km is too far. This is called the Sight the Sygna 16 and will head 8km out to the Sygna ship wreck and back. Also not for the faint hearted. Each year we plan to change the direction of the event, heading in 2011 from Stockton to Birubi. Our official charity for the event is the Harry Meyn Foundation, which has just established Harry's House in Stockton, to allow families of sick children who need to travel to Hunter based medical facilities the opportunity to stay close to treatment and or seek a retreat to enjoy the beautiful Stockton beaches and township. Competitors in the event will be encouraged to seek sponsorship for Harry's House over their Big Beach Challenge. contact: Paul Humphreys. email: paul@hevents.com.au.
