Jetty2Jetty - Early Bird Special!

It's that time of year again, the Jetty2Jetty, how very exciting!

ONCE again Dolphins Health Precinct will focus on the Jetty 2 Jetty fun run/walk in July. Held on Sunday, July 21, the scenic course over either the 3km, 5km, 10km or 21km events follows the picturesque Redcliffe waterfront, starting and finishing in front of the Belvedere Hotel next to the Woody Point jetty.

Anyone wanting to join the DHP team needs to complete a registration form at reception and pay the entry cost and $25 for a DHP Special Memorabilia Jetty2Jetty shirt. Early Bird savings are in place until May 13 so get in quickly.

There is also going to be a 10 Week Training Program for the Jetty2Jetty, more information will be on the blog tomorrow.

A GREAT Xmas BBQ!

Strongman Championship at DHP

Dolphins Health Precinct will buzz with excitement in September.

Not only will DHP hold an open day, it also will host the Australian Amateur Strongman Championship over two days on September 29 and 30.

It isn’t every day that you get to see a man attempt to pull multiple trucks and maybe even a woman dragging a prime mover behind her.

The event name will have a family fun day feel about it as entry will be free of charge so everyone will have an opportunity to enjoy Dolphins Health Precinct Australian Amateur Strongman Championship.

Dolphins group manager Justin Charlish said there would be six divisions competing at this event and spectators can expect between 30 and 50 competitors.

In the event you will see the introduction of truck pulling in the championship while the winner of the open division will earn himself a place in the Arnold Strongman Classic in Las Vegas, which carries a first prize of $50,000.

Dolphins Health Precinct Australian Amateur Strongman Championship is proud to have the McGrath Foundation as its charity of choice. All donations for this event will go straight back to the McGrath Foundation to assist in raising awareness for this great cause.

Anyone interested can follow the Dolphins Health Precinct Facebook page, where you will find out further information as we get closer to the event.
