I’m Still Standing Sydney

Published by Lisa Sherman

I’m Still Standing is Sydney’s newest last one standing ultra and the first of its kind in the Eastern Suburbs.

Commencing on Saturday 16 March 2024 at 7am at Heffron Park, Maroubra, this running event provides a unique opportunity to test yourself mentally and physically as you tackle a 6.706km loop on the hour, every hour. With a sense of camaraderie with other runners, you will find out just how far you can go and for how long.

Heffron Park is located in the heart of Maroubra and is the largest recreational park in Randwick City. A popular park that is used regularly for training and competition for a number of sporting codes, it is also a favourite for recreational activities including running and walking. The park has many mature trees, both exotic and native that provide shade, shelter and fauna habitat, and is conveniently located near shopping centres.

We are excited to announce that all net proceeds from I’m Still Standing will be donated to our charity partner IndigiGrow. IndigiGrow native plant initiative was created in 2018 and is a social enterprise from First Hand Solutions Aboriginal Corporation. It sustains people, land and culture through the propagation and growing of native plants, including bush foods and the critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub. IndigiGrow is based at La Perouse Public School Sydney and has been operating for 5 years. For more information visit https://indigigrow.com.au/
