Fun Run Returns To Sarina Beach

Preparations are powering full steam ahead for the 2022 Cruisin’ the Coast Sarina Fun Run, following the success of last year’s event.

Naming rights sponsor Community Bank Sarina’s Board Chair Karen May said that the aim of Cruisin’ the Coast was to provide a “carefree space for the community to get together after yet another challenging year faced by many”.

“Cruisin’ the Coast is a great way for families and friends to reconnect. Whether you want to walk or run, we just want everyone to enjoy the day at their own pace and be reminded of why we love our community so much,” Ms May said.

Registrations are now open to participate in the Cruisin’ the Coast Fun Run, to be held on May 22 at beautiful Sarina Beach.

There will be five separate events to choose from, including a new half marathon event for more serious contenders. Participants can choose to run or walk at their leisure, making this event suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Sarina Surf Lifesaving Club President Neil John said the Club “couldn’t be more thrilled” to host Cruisin’ the Coast for the third year running.

Previous run ambassadors Brenda Windsor and Kay Nyenuh have once again been announced as the official 2022 run ambassadors.

“We’re really putting our all into making this a fun event to remember for our participants,” said Mr John.

“It’s been such a joy to see people gather on Sarina Beach from all over the region to enjoy an invigorating morning outdoors.

“We made sure there will be an event for people of all ages to enjoy. However, this year, we’ve introduced a new event – a half marathon - to spur some healthy competition amongst the seasoned runners.

“A big thank you to our naming rights sponsor, Community Bank Sarina, for their continued support of Cruisin’ the Coast.

“All in all, we just want everyone to bring their friends and family along to connect and have some fun.”
