Family fitness fun

Family fun day

A family day of fitness and fancy dress was blessed with perfect weather when Wickham closed its streets for an event that attracted a turnout of almost 200 participants.

Employees from Cape Lambert and their children were among the challengers to set the pace through the town en route to Point Sampson.

Categories for last month’s Tread ‘n’ Water Fun Run included the ultimate challenge of a 10 kilometre run sponsored by Rio Tinto. For the less energetic, there was a three kilometre walk or a more demanding 10 kilometre hike across town.

Cape Lambert mobile plant mechanic Phil Pearce heard about the community event through the Wickham Lifestyle Centre, the fitness facility free to employees.

He said: “This was my first attempt and I’d definitely like to do it again. It was a great community event and the weather was perfect.”

The annual fun run is known locally as Wickham’s version of City to Surf and the enthusiastic organisers are already busy planning next year’s challenges.
