Trial My Sunrise
Join us and help raise much needed funds for cancer research....

We welcome you to trial a Sunrise Bushwalk with us. During the year our group continually runs a fundraiser for cancer research. For every new participant, our club will double the $10.00 participation subscription/donation in aid of cancer research.
Our early morning bushwalks which start at 7.30am are sure to get your endorphins excited and get you kinetically energised for the rest of the day. It's nature's drug that helps with health and well-being. It can also decrease the risk of heart disease and some cancers among other things.
There too, is new research that shows our style of Sunrise events can keep you younger by lengthening the longevity of life cycle. One day you may still be around and have the stamina to play with your Great Grandkids.
If you would like to feel yourger, get healthier and have fun, then simply register below, trial a Sunrise, meet and greet our members then if you choose, join our members for morning tea afterwards.
If you enjoy the event you may choose to continue on, join up as a full member and if not, you may choose to move away.
The choice is entirely yours.... You are under no obligation! The bottom line though, is that your participation has given cancer research a $20.00 boost towards finding a cure, and in advance, thank you for your participation and the contribution you have made towards our fundraing campaign.

Why It’s Never Too Late to Get Moving.... And, It Is Fun Too!
Research has found that walking speed is linked with heart health and life's longevity. In particular, middle-aged adults who walk at a slow pace were twice as likely to die from heart disease compared with their fast-walking peers. The research is clear, exercise can improve your heart health, even if you haven’t laced up your sneakers in years. If you have been thinking about starting a walk exercise program, there is no better time to begin than today.

Check Out Our Next Trial My Sunrise Day:
​​
​01. Saturday 17 October SunrisePlus: Beyond Lake Parramatta
The Lake Parramatta area has a number of delightful bushland reserves. In the 1960s, when the area was being developed, Council and forward-thinking residents realized the importance of local bushland and worked to protect the area. It is now highly valued by the local community as a place for recreation, a peaceful escape, and a connection with the natural world. With its multitude of tracks, we will hand pick the most scenic ones and put them together to make a fascinating journey. The park boasts an array of birdlife and has the remains of remnant high forest. And, during our journey we will walk part of a historic road and cross a sandstone bridge which were built in 1905C. Other highlights include Lake Parramatta which is a heritage-listed man-made reservoir and a recreational area. The masonry arch-walled dam across Hunts Creek, completed in 1856, supplied water for Parramatta and was operational until 1909. The dam has since been decommissioned and the lake and the surrounding nature reserve are now a popular recreational area. Meet at North Parramatta for a 7.30am departure. Distance is approximately 11km. Expected finish time is 10.40am.​

This energising Sunrise walk takes you through a section of Lane Cove Valley from South Turramurra to Epping via the Lane Cove Creek and Devlins Creek where the historic Great North Road passed through Epping. On the return journey, the walk captures the Step Track which was named after the STEP Inc, a community-based environmental protection group. The area offers excellent bird watching opportunities for bushland species such as Grey Fantails, Yellow Robins and Red-browed Finches. Meet at South Turramurra for a 7.30am departure. Distance is approximately 9.5km. Expected finish time is 10.10am.

On reaching the ridge top we’ll be rewarded with further views of the waters below. Meet at Mount Kuring-gai for a 7.30am departure. Distance is approximately 6.5km. Expected finish time is 10.30am.
