If you are looking for something different to do on the weekend, join in and be a part of the Head to Head Walk Run as an individual or as a part of a team with friends or family. Dress up for the occasion or dress down, but make sure you stay hydrated and bring some sun protection.

There will be designated checkpoints for the 2.5km, 5km, 7.5km and 10km distances and at each point, an event representative will greet you with a bottle of water, sunscreen and first aid, if needed.

There are no age restrictions, but if you start the event and feel you cannot finish, don't be afraid to ask for help. There will be two support vehicles on hand to transport you back to the start where you can relax and help welcome the rest of the participants as they cross the line.

The Crescent Head Lions Club organised this event in conjunction with community volunteers and all money raised on the day will go towards supporting local charity Macleay Valley Diabetes Group.

If you aren't the active type but still would like to be involved with the Head to Head committee, they can certainly use more volunteers. Registrations close for participants on August 21. Head over to http://headtoheadwalkrun.org.au to register as a participant, volunteer or sponsor.
