Epic Coastal Adventure: Manly to Palm Beach (35km+)

After the last day of Daylight Savings, join us for an epic 35+ km coastal adventure from Manly to Palm Beach, covering over 20 of Sydney’s iconic northern beaches! This challenging trek takes you through beaches, streets, bushland, reserves, and stunning headlands. With a pace of 4.5 km/h and only short breaks, excellent fitness and prior walking experience are essential. While there are multiple exit points along the way, we encourage you to join only if you plan/try to complete the entire journey!

Before you RSVP, be sure to read the following:

• Difficulty: Very Hard, because of long distance, good pace and multiple elevation gains!
• Start at 8:30 AM outside Manly Wharf. Meet at Seashell Sculpture in front of The Bavarian restaurant.
• Route: We'll traverse iconic beaches like Manly, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Narrabeen, Avalon, and Palm Beach, passing by stunning headlands like Long Reef and Bilgola Head. We'll finish at Barrenjoey lighthouse for Sunset photos around 6 PM, and take the bus back to the city!
