About Women’s Fitness

WF’s Samera Kamaleddine has signed up for her next fitness challenge, all in the name of charity.

When you hear 55 kilometre trek you might think “EEK no way” or “I’d so die walking that far” but since I started working at Women’s Fitness (and subsequently throwing my hat in the ring for a bunch of stuff I would never have done before – hello, City2Surf!) I’ve learnt that no challenge is ever worthy of dropping the H-bomb (hard, that is). Especially when it has a feel-good component to it.

Enter Wild Women On Top Sydney Coastrek – the 55km team trekking challenge along the stunning Sydney coast, that supports of The Fred Hollows Foundation. There are two events starting at sunrise on Friday March 6, 2015: 1. From Palm Beach to Balmoral and 2. From Coogee Beach to Balmoral, both taking an average of 18 hours. Yep, 18 hours of walking! But think about the views… national parks, the harbour, beaches, lookouts and iconic landmarks! And this stat: four out of five people who are blind don’t need to be. The Fred Hollows Foundation can restore sight for just $25 to someone who’s needlessly blind.

Want more? This endurance challenge promises to up your health and fitness game – in fact, nearly 98 per cent of surveyed participants from last year’s Coastrek said it boosted theirs.

This morning I got up at the crack of dawn (like you do for all good challenges) to walk a 5km slice of next year’s Coastrek route (see pics below) and now I’m pumped for the real thing. Like I’m totally going to be part of something big.

If you want to get on board, registration for the 2015 Wild Women On Top Sydney Coastrek is now open. Head to www.coastrek.com.au.
