				The 4km Walk/ Run is undergoing a complete overhaul in 2010- most importantly we have a new start line at Mclean Park. The changes will better facilitate the 10,000+ crowd and will ensure the best possible family friendly environement for all participants. The event start will be relocated to the north side of Oceanic Drive, to McLean Park in Floreat. The move will see improved event services such as: a dedicated 4km clothing drop off station, improved information and help desk facilities, more vendors so you can grab a morning coffee; more toilets; better access to pre race activities such as warm-ups; and guest appearances from local celebrities and sporting heros. Please CLICK HERE for a closer look at the new start line for the Nissan 4km Walk/Run.

				Thanks to Prime Health Group the Prime Mining City to Surf for Activ allows mine site workers and regional communities the opportunity to take part in 2010 Rebel Sport City to Surf for Activ. In 2009 the township of Pannawonica really got behind the initiative with the Pannawonica community, various mining contractors and the Rio Tinto mining employees from both Mesa A and Mesa J operations taking part. The entire town was involved in the event with the local Police providing road blocks and escorts, the local volunteer groups manning the water stations and the Prime Health Group team keeping a watchful eye over the group. 100 participants were involved in the day as they either ran or walked the 12km and 4km routes placed throughout the town streets. There were many laughs, smiles and sweat on the day! Pannawonica will be competing again this year and we wish them all the very best of luck! In the 2010 Prime Health Mining City to Surf for Activ there are some terrific prizes to be won thanks to nib health funds.

Photo of Marita Somerford taken by Bilie Fairclough.				Chevron Australia�s Community Engagement Officer Marita Somerford was one of the first people to volunteer for this year�s event. Marita said she was keen to volunteer because it aligns with Chevron�s focus on employee health and wellness, encouraging work life balance and community participation. She was looking forward to getting out on the day and supporting the participants throughout the event. While Marita volunteers, her daughter Becky will be taking on the impressive 42km Chevron Marathon event. This will be her first attempt at the famous distance. Becky is excited by the challenge that the beautiful course offers, and takes comfort in the knowledge that her mum will be out on the course to give her a helping hand when it is needed most. �I will definitely be looking out for mum when I run past � I�m sure I�ll need a drink by then! I am very proud in the knowledge that she will be helping so many people achieve their goals; not just me but everybody that takes part,� Becky said. The Rebel Sport City to Surf for Activ is a wonderful family event, and we wish Marita and Becky all the best for Sunday 29 August.
