Cane 2 Coral

Last week saw the official announcement of the FSPH Cane 2 Coral for 2012 in Bundaberg.  On hand for the Launch were FSPH CEO Alan Cooper, Rugby League great, Shane Webke, who is the Race Ambassador, any many more dignitaries, sponsors and volunteers who will make this event a very successful one indeed.

This is no ordinary local fun run and it won't be long until this is one of the major events on the National calender. With major prize money of $2000 for first in both Men and Women's plus many prize categories for all walks in life as well as team prizes, it is no surprise hat the race is growing with popularity. In total there is over $9000 in prizes.

How many runs can you think of where you start on the banks of a river, meander through sugar cane fields famous for the rum of Bundaberg before finally heading straight towards the ocean on the shores of the Bargara Surf Club where the Great Barrier Reef is only a stones throw away.  For the serious competitor or someone who really wants a challenge the race is 15km, but for those who want to enjoy the scenery there is an 8km race.

So if you are looking for somewhere to go in August book yourself in early for accomodation and register for the run/walk on the 5 Aug 2012.

To date Cane 2 Coral has raised $112,250 for charity and this year will be looking to greatly increase that total.

I myself will not be competing but I have registered to volunteer for the event so I hope to see lots of people there and who knows you might make the covering article that features on Sporting Sport Opinions.
