CATHY FREEMAN TO RUN IN HBF ACTIV CITY TO SURF Sponsored By Worldwide Online Printing
The 2008 event launch was held at 10:30am at 1907 Restaurant, Queen Street, Perth, where Freeman made an address.
Iconic Australia sportswoman Freeman will take part in the 12km charity run on 31 August 2008, and her message to the community is clear: “Join me as I put on my running shoes and take part in this fantastic event”.
The 34th annual HBF Activ City to Surf hopes to attract more than 35,000 competitors and raise money for Activ to assist people with disabilities in Western Australia.
Sponsoring all the printing for the event, from entry forms to posters, is Worldwide Online Printing, a national printing franchise which was founded in Perth and now has more than 80 franchised print centres across Australia.
“We’re thrilled to be able to help out such an iconic Perth event and a great fundraising cause,” said John Stangeland, Worldwide Online Printing’s WA State Manager and a keen supporter of the yearly race.
“Some of the Worldwide Online Printing business services centres involved are also going to enter teams in the event – we might not be the fastest runners on the day, but with this printing sponsorship, Worldwide’s franchisees are doing their bit to help get the fun and colour of the City to Surf out into the WA community.”
The HBF Activ City to Surf suits people of all levels of fitness; competitors can choose to take part in the BankWest Half Marathon, the Channel Nine 12km Run, the 12km Walk, the 11km Wheelchair event and the 4km walk/run.
All participants will be timed, maintaining HBF Activ City to Surf’s status as the largest officially timed event in the southern hemisphere.
Registrations and open and potential competitors can pick up an entry form from any of the participating Worldwide centres: Joondalup, Wangara, Fremantle, O’Connor, Belmont, Bentley, Gosnells, East Perth, West Perth, Subiaco, Osborne Park and Balcatta.
