VOLUNTEERS
Why not contribute to this great event by volunteering your time.
With 25km of course, 7 bridges and 7 villages we certainly need a hand. All the money raised on event day will be equally split between beyondblue: the national depression initiative, The Cancer Council NSW, Diabetes Australia - NSW and The Heart Foundation. We can’t make this event a success without the assistance of volunteers.
Medibank Private will be kindly supplying each volunteer with an event T-Shirt and Cap. All event day volunteers will receive a lunch pack on event day and a Certificate of Appreciation.
Volunteers for this years event will also go into the draw to win one of four $200 Asics prize vouchers, or one of seven double passes to this year's Sydney Pet and Animal Expo
