Powered by returning naming rights sponsor Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank, registrations for the 2025 Cruisin’ the Coast Sarina Beach Run & Ocean Swim are now open.
Hosted by Sarina Surf Lifesaving Club, the 31 August event has five different runs and two new ocean swims options to choose from, with all proceeds going to support the Club.
Sarina Surf Lifesaving Club President Trent Vernon said that the event is the Club’s principal annual fundraiser, combining “fun, fitness and fantastic views” into one event to support the Club’s vital work in our community.
“As a 100 per cent volunteer organisation, we are so grateful for all of interest and participation so far in our popular Cruisin’ the Coast Run & Ocean Swim,” Mr Vernon said.
“It’s also fantastic to have Community Bank Sarina on board as our naming rights sponsor – and their continued support plays a huge part in helping us bring this event to life.
“While raising much-needed funds for us, it also gives our community an opportunity to experience beautiful Sarina Beach.”
Community Bank Sarina Branch Manager Erin Ryley said this event is a “great way for families and friends to reconnect”.
“If you choose to either walk, run or swim, we want everyone to enjoy the day at their own pace and be reminded of why we love our community so much,” Mrs Ryley said.
The event features something for everyone, with a 5km community walk, 1km, 5km, 10km or half marathon runs, plus a 1km or 2km ocean swim – offering a variety of distances to suit all ages and fitness levels.
Alongside naming rights sponsor Community Bank Sarina, the 2025 major sponsors include Wilmar Sugar and Renewables, North Queensland Bulk Ports. Our minor sponsors include Ray White Rural Sarina, The Clubhouse Sarina Beach, with additional support from valued club friends Permanent Way Solutions, Mackay Regional Council and Rebel Nation.
