25.01.2022 Throwback to a Virtual Westpac City-Bay 2020 mini event run by Anna Liptak and her team at His and Her Time over the weekend! Seven months after being diagnosed with coronavirus and completing the Virtual TCS New York Marathon 2020 around the Adelaide CBD, Anna hosted runners at Angus Neil Reserve last weekend to raise funds for Backpack SA. Anna is still experiencing the debilitating symptoms of COVID19 and if she runs too fast, too far or too often she suffers with chronic... fatigue symptoms. So if Anna can do it, anyone can do it! REGISTER NOW! https://raceroster.com//2020-westpac-city-bay-virtual-fun- *The purchase of an entry for the virtual Westpac City-Bay Fun Run 2020 will guarantee participants entry into the 2020 race and a discount on their entry for the 2021 event if registered after 4th October 2020.

24.01.2022 INTRODUCING...CITY-BAY YOUR WAY ft YOU! Meet Travis Stewart from South Australia! He ran the virtual event and used the suggested route of the Seacliff Hotel to Mosely Square and back to run my 12km. Check out the selfies he took before and after his run yesterday.... This year marked his 10th consecutive City-Bay. Whilst it was very different to the past 9, he is very grateful that the City-Bay team managed to get something organised for everyone, keeping his consecutive years of running it intact! Travis makes a point to run the City-Bay every year and this was his 10th in a row, a significant milestone for him! Congratulations Travis!

09.01.2022 INTRODUCING CITY-BAY YOUR WAY ft YOU! Amy and her family are running the City-Bay from Brisbane and she's told us why the City-Bay is important to her! "We are just over in Brisbane (my partner is a Port Power fan, he got a bit too excited thinking they would get in) I’ll send a photo on Monday if that’s okay as we aren’t all together ... I registered for the City-Bay because I look forward to it every year. My partner, Daniel and my boys, Liam and Noah wanted to be a part of this year so we registered as a family. We usually go for a family walk most evenings so we thought it would be fun to do the event together. We want to start doing longer hikes around Adelaide so we thought this would be a great way to start! I did my first City-Bay, 6 years ago with a group of friends I met when my oldest son, Liam started primary school. We joined playgroup at school, quickly became friends with a group of mums. We have continued to enter together most years. The same group of friends and I meet up most Saturday morning to walk together. Liam was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5. He is now 13.. My ex husband, Tommy and I didn’t know much about autism. We joined an autism group Asperlutely Autsome who have been a great support over the years. They include the whole family so it has been great for us to attend events as a family. Over the years we have chosen Asperlutely Autsome or Autism SA as our charity of choice as they both mean a lot to us. We are excited for our City-Bay tops to arrive so we can do this virtual event together as a family. We think it’s worth doing and we are excited to give it a go!"
