Stu Ford Memorial Challenge 2024

Event Date:

23 November 2024

Event Time:

6:45 am

Event Location:

Don Lucas Reserve

The Stu Ford Memorial Challenge is in honour of Stu Ford who suddenly passed away on the 26th November 2021. He had planned to complete the Everesting challenge alone, by repeatedly cycling up Garie Beach Hill in the Royal National Park to the staggering heights of 8,848 metres, the height of Mount Everest.

In Stu’s honour the club would like to continue his legacy and raise funds for well deserving charities. Therefore this year participants will have the opportunity to take part in a 16km Time Trial or the Cronulla 5km Parkrun or race both events.

All proceeds of the event will be shared between Love Mercy and The Black Dog Institute, as Stu had intended.

A bbq breakfast will be provided for all participants and volunteers following the activities, at Don Lucas Reserve.

Cycle Event

Stu was the Race Director for the Cronulla Triathlon Club (CTC) Time Trial Series up until his passing, so there is a synergy to us hosting an event in his honour that he would otherwise have been coordinating. The 16km Time Trial will be taking place from 8am on Saturday the 23^th November from Greenhills along the Kurnell Road bike path, to the Kurnell roundabout and returning to Greenhills via a dog leg out along Sir Joseph Banks Drive.

Run Event

Parkrun Cronulla meets in the same vicinity for their weekly 5km timed run through the trails to the North starting at 7:00am. SFMC participants will need to register both with Cronulla Tri Club using the links below and ensure they have a registration with Parkrun. This is a once of registration and allows you to join a Parkrun anywhere in the world. You can register for Parkrun here.

What you need to do

This year you can either choose to participate in the Park Run, Time Trial or if you are feeling especially fit, both! The fee is a flat $50 for either or both events and its as simple as registering below for and pay the $50 fee.
