Join us for Western Australia’s largest and most iconic community event, the Chevron City to Surf for Activ! Walk, run or roll with us on either the 4km or 12km course and help raise vital funds to support the thousands of people living with disability here in WA.
Support the thousands of people living with disability here in WA by sponsoring a friend, family member, colleague and/or neighbour to walk, run or roll in 2023!
The City to Surf kicked off for the first time in 1975, and while the event has had many iterations over the years, one thing that has remained the same is event stalwarts’ Bob and Alison’s participation. Arguably the event’s biggest fans, Bob has managed to take part every year since its inception, with Alison following along and participating every year since 1977!
Bob and Alison stand by the fact that the event has managed to maintain its family-friendly, positive atmosphere, which is what keeps bringing them back:
“Mainly I come back because it’s fun, it’s enjoyable, it’s rewarding, it keeps me fit, it gives me a goal” says Alison.
Bob and Alison also feel passionate about the purpose of the event – which is to fundraise for Activ, acknowledging how special and important the services provided are for people living with a disability, “Raising money for this, it’s money well raised” says Bob.
Each year, the duo trains hard to prepare for the event, intertwining it as part of their routine. While it takes hard work and persistence, they advocate proudly for anyone to get involved in the event, whether that be to run, walk or roll.
