Sun Run registrations are now open. Secure your spot at the start line and you could be running alongside our new ambassador and local fitness guru, Shannan Ponton.

The celebrity personal trainer and former coach on TV show, The Biggest Loser, has competed in the Sun Run at least six times (he’s lost count!) and has signed up to run again in 2023 as our event ambassador.

“The Sun Run is one of the highlights on my annual sporting calendar,” Shannan said.

“I’ve raced in hundreds of events nationally and internationally but there is nothing more impressive than running along Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

“I’m not sure yet if I’ll be running with my oldest son (10) or having one last chance to push my youngest in a pram (5). But one thing is certain – my entire family will be involved, and I’ll be raising much-needed funds for a charity close to my heart.”

People of all ages and fitness levels are welcome to participate in the Sun Run and enjoy the scenic course that stretches from Dee Why Beach to Manly Beach.

You can choose the 7km or 10km course and take in views of Curl Curl, Freshwater and Queenscliff before finishing at Manly, while raising much needed funds for a charity of your choice.

So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to set some goals, then smash them.

Register before midnight, 8 December and save $20 on your entry.
