H Events will again partner with Athletics NSW to stage this event in Newcastle/Lake Macquarie on it's now traditional weekend of Sunday 19 October.

Our friends at Newcastle Surf Life Saving Club will again be staging the 2km Nobby's to Newcastle Ocean Swimming event on the new date of Saturday 13 Dec. 

It would be hard to find a better spot to stage a MTB event than the back paddock of the Wollombi Tavern.

It was a day of local pride when paralympian Kurt Fearnley lit up the Fernleigh track, breaking his own record during the race on Sunday.

The original Big Beach Challenge was held on Saturday 28 September at the new inner city location across Merewether, Dixon Park and Bar Beaches.
