BEXI Spring Fling – 19 Sept 2020

Join us as we take in the stunning views of Sydney’s iconic landmarks, spectacular coastline and world famous beaches.

Our BEXI Spring Fling is a fun run event which starts on the steps of the Opera House and follows the coastline to Manly Beach. Participants can choose their distance and decide where they would like to start/finish. The BEXI support bus will follow participants along the course, collecting/dropping-off along the way. The aim of this Spring Fling is to have a goal that you can work towards.

Training for this event will give you a goal, keep you motivated, accountable, consistent and encourage you to have fun!
