Chevron City to Surf for Activ.




We are excited to announce Australia's greatest marathon runner, Rob de Castella, is the official event ambassador for the 2011 Chevron City to Surf for Activ.

Mr de Castella said the event appealed to him as an ex-elite athlete because he now had the opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle to Western Australians.

While he will not be running on Sunday August 28th, Mr de Castella will be involved in a number of official duties, including starting the Marathon and 12km events.

Rob
de Castella represented Australia at four Olympic Games, won gold at two Commonwealth Games and was voted the World's Best Marathon Runner of the 1980s.
