Ambassadors

The Beachside Dash is back, bigger and better this year, with our inaugural half marathon, as well as our 10km, 5km, 2 km and Corporate Cup races, and we’re excited to announce our amazing line-up of ambassadors.

On Sunday, 13 September 2026, the annual Beachside Dash will take place at Depena Reserve, Dolls Point, to raise much-needed funds for medical research in our local St George and Sutherland hospitals.

Join our incredible Beachside Dash ambassadors and together, let’s run for research.
