focus.

There are numerous benefits to running. Not only
will running just three times a week for 20 to 40 minutes help you
get your dream body (a 60kg woman will burn over 230 calories after
just 20 minutes of easy running), but you can also lower your risk
for heart disease, boost your bone density, and improve muscle tone,
too. Plus, all of those mood-inducing endorphins that are released
as you run make running a well-known stress-reducer. Read
more here and get
motivated!

fittest supporters.

tell us where your allegiance lies and we'll add it to our tally.
It's DOCKERS v EAGLES and the team showing the most registrations by

Melbourne.

Both individuals and teams have the opportunity to get sponsored for
their efforts by setting up a fundraising page. Fundraising not only

support, or get behind our partner charity Activ, who provide
ongoing support to people in WA with disabilities to enable them to lead a better
life.
Building a fundraising page only takes a few
minutes and there are some fantastic prizes up for grabs for our top
fundraisers! So get on board and

Robert on course in the
inaugural City
to Surf Marathon
in 2009 - Happy at
31kms!
|
Robert Watson took up running only two
years ago as a way to lose weight and embark on a healthier
lifestyle. In this time, Robert has lost 17kgs and conquered an
impressive list of marathons around the globe.
Robert has
already completed the Chicago Marathon, London Marathon, and
the 2009 Perth City to Surf Marathon. This week he is set to
take on the Boston Marathon, before setting his sights on a
return run in Perth on August 29.
Having taken part
in these major events all over the world, Robert has a soft
spot for his home town race and enjoys the tough City to Surf
Marathon course. “I was very excited when the City to Surf
announced a marathon and I ran my personal best time of 3hr
17min last year. It is by far the most beautiful course I have ever
run and I aim to break the 3
hour mark this year.”
WIth his sights set on a sub 3 hour time, a mammoth effort
for even the most seasoned of runners, Robert has found extra inspiration this year by
raising money for Activ as part of his registration.
We wish
Robert all the best in Boston and then for the Sub 3 in Perth, and
thank him for his support of Activ and the work they do in our
community.
