This event gets bigger every year! Savvy had over 70 runners head to the Gold Coast to run in 5k, 10k, 21k & 42k events. A fun week-end with something for everyone. The team spirit at this event was fantastic & I think everyone had a fantastic weekend.

Everyone had participated in the Savvy athlete program leading up to the event & were all well prepared. This event has something for everyone & its great having so many Savvies up there to cheer you over the finish line. Joey in particular appreciated the Savvy Spirit in helping him finish a very tough marathon!

Everyone achieved amazing results & should be very proud of themselves.

Bulli turned on a spectacular day for the inaugural Bulli Burn. With just over 350 participants, the event was an amazing success with runners being exceptionally happy with the scenic course & the immediately available timing results.

Savvy Fitness organised a fantastic community event that runners of all ages & abilities participated in.

The Bulli Burn is the first community fun run to be held in the northern suburbs of the Illawarra & with such a picturesque course, will be a popular event for years to come.

Planning is already underway for 2012 with a 5km & also a 10km option to be included.

The third run in our Savvy Series & also a Savvy favourite event. Not only is it a charity close to everyone’s heart it starts from ‘Savvy Corner’! Over 90 Savvies turned up for this one, what a spectacular effort!

This National fundraising event for Breast Cancer has become Wollongong’s biggest running event with 1000's of entrants of all ages & abilities, walkers & runners alike.

Savvy partnered up again with Phil Murray & the Cancer Council to run the Great Ocean Pool Crawl.

Their journey starting in buses (donated by LBJ Tours) from the Palm Court Hotel, some rode bikes from the Palm Court Hotel to the first pool at Coalcliff for an extra challenge, because that’s the Savvy way!

We then completed two laps in seven different ocean pools from Coalcliff to Towradgi, whilst it was a sunny day the water in each pool was quite chilly.

It was a great day made better by the willingness of participants to submerge themselves into the cold waters of seven pools in the name of charity.

The annual Savvy Road Trip headed down to the Farm at Shellharbour for a gruelling Beach Boxing Session! Weather was perfect once again, everyone got wet & sandy sweating it out.

We had record numbers with over 70 runners this year competing in our 2^nd run in the inaugural Savvy Series. Everyone is keen to earn the special edition ‘savvy series singlet’!

Once again Savvy took out the Outdoor Fitness category, so no matter what your time you were part of a winning team!

It’s fantastic to see such huge support of this local event and to see many of you put in maximum effort and achieve fantastic results.

The Great Illawarra Walk is in its fourth year and aims to raise funds for Children’s cancer charity Camp Quality.

The event involves a 100km walk from Shellharbour Village to Stanwell Park on the first day, followed by a return to Shellharbour Workers’ Club at 6pm on the Sunday for a celebration. Walkers don't have to do the whole distance or both days, you can walk 1km or 100km.

What a great day this one was with over 56 Savvies turning up to run in the first of our Savvy Series runs The Shellharbour Festival of sport. Some amazing efforts on the day with everyone running PB’s. (The course was slightly short of 5k sshh)

Most runners backed up & joined the crew at Shellharbour North Beach for the Savvy Fitness South launch. We also had a number of the NRE Hawks players attending this special session.

Another action packed super session in the sun!

Running boxing & lift all formed part of a great workout.

Recovery works again showed their support for all with free massages & Lokamo had sports wear for sale.
