Community unites for 2024 Ship to Shore Fun Run

More than 500 people registered for last weekend’s Ship to Shore Community Fun Run, for a day which celebrated community spirit and health. A robust crowd attended the 7:30 AM start at Cemetry park for the 6km job, with those preferring to walk the event and do a smaller 3km distance at 8:00am. Mayor Peter Carter praised the event for its positive and unifying impact on Hedland residents. “Fitness is important to the Hedland community, and it’s fantastic we can deliver an event that not only promotes well being but also social connection.” Mayor Carter said “The Town is committed to providing a wide range of events for the community to enjoy. Events like this help promote Hedland as a thriving, resilient, and inclusive community,” he said. The fun run was put on by a collaboration between the Town of Port Hedland and Pilbara Ports Authority and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. Pilbara Ports General Manager, Phil Christy, expressed enthusiasm about delivering the fun run for a third year in a row. “The Port Hedland community is really special, and events like this are a great way for everyone to connect and enjoy the beautiful place they call home.” Mr Christy said.
