Beach2Beach Half Marathon & Running Festival

Each 4th Sunday in August the iconic Beach2Beach Half Marathon & Running Festival (formerly known as Pub2Pub) is raising much needed funds for worthy local charities on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Organised by the Rotary Club of Warringah, since 1994, the event has raised funds for wonderful organisations including Life Education Australia, Surf Life Saving Northern Beaches, Northern Beaches Community Centre, Bear Cottage, OneEighty, Sunnyfield and many more. The event has four course options, catering for everyone from serious runners to families – Half Marathon - 14km from Dee Why Beach to Newport Beach - 6km from Warriewood to Newport Beach - 3km from Mona Vale to Newport Beach. This is undoubtedly Sydney’s most scenic Running Festival, taking in many of the spectacularly beautiful Northern Beaches. A huge Family Festival is held at the Newport Beach finish line with live music, a licensed bar area, international food options and plenty of fun rides and games for the kids. The Beach2Beach Team is led by a group of passionate Brookvale Rotarians who believe this event is a great way to give back to those less fortunate, while hosting the most popular participation event on the Northern Beaches. Thanks to their wonderful sponsors and many volunteers, 100% off entree fees from the runners goes to Charity.
