Race into 2024 with a New Years Fitness Resolution

Published on 19 January 2024

Set your fitness sights on the 16th annual 7Rocky River Run on Sunday, May 19, 2024.

Parks, Sports and Public Spaces Councillor Cherie Rutherford is encouraging the community to kick-start their fitness resolutions and embrace an active and healthy lifestyle in 2024 by registering for the 7Rocky River Run.

“Now is the perfect time to register and be a part of the region's most anticipated fundraising event. All levels of fitness are encouraged to register - you can run, walk, wheel, or stroll, or mix a few in each race distance,” Councillor Rutherford said.

“Making any lifestyle change can be challenging. Many people find that having a goal in mind like 7Rocky River Run gives them something to work towards and motivates them to stay on track.”

“Why not grab a group of friends or colleagues together and make this challenge a shared experience with discounts available for team bookings.”

Advance Rockhampton Tourism and Events Manager, Zac Garven, highlighted the charitable aspect of the event, with Fitzroy Community Hospice the charity recipient for 2024.

“7Rocky River Run not only promises a challenging race experience for all fitness levels but also serves as a fantastic way to support our community. We encourage locals to invite friends and families to visit and participate in a race for a good cause,” Mr Garven said.
