POWERED by returning naming rights sponsor Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank, registrations for the 2026 Cruisin’ the Coast Sarina Beach Run & Ocean Swim are now open.
Hosted by Sarina Surf Lifesaving Club, the 6 September event has five different runs and two ocean swims options to choose from, with all proceeds going to support the Club.
Sarina Surf Lifesaving Club President Brady Leonard 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% volunteer organisation, we are so grateful for all of interest and participation so far in our popular Cruisin’ the Coast Run & Ocean Swim,” Mr Leonard 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 allows our community to experience beautiful Sarina Beach.”
Community Bank Sarina’s Board Chair Karen May 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,” Ms May 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 2026 major sponsors include BMA BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal and North Queensland Bulk Ports, with minor sponsors Mackay Whitsunday Life and Fridgelec and additional support from valued Club friends Mackay Regional Council and Rebel Nation.
