Introducing our new and exciting initiative - “Run or Walk with the Community”. City2Surf is more than just a 14 km event from Sydney’s CBD to Bondi. It has the ability to bring communities and families together. A city giving back has become the beating heart of this event. We want our greater family to be part of this!

Maccabi and the JCA, have joined forces to create the largest running and walking group our community has ever seen. We hope to encourage as many members as possible from our community to join the JCA Maccabi Community Team.

We want you to achieve your personal best. So, when joining the JCA Maccabi Community Team, you will have access to many perks. Including:

1. Being part of a community program that helps promote, motivate, and inspire you to reach your fitness goals
2. Meet new people and network with like minded individuals
3. Improve fitness, clear your mind and, + we’ll watch their kids while they train (more info to come)
4. Listen to interesting speakers, inspiring individuals and thought leaders of our community
5. Lastly, by being a part of our team, we want you to run (walk, stroll or schmooze) with a JCA Maccabi Community Team t-shirt (TBC). This will be given out at the end of the program and ready for the C2S day.

We will be starting the program in June (after Shavuot). We will arrange a meetup once a week at 2 locations (east and north). The program is for anyone interested in either joining the C2S group or simply wanting to be part of the community and improve their fitness. These Meetups are at no cost and will split into 2 groups – runners and walkers.

The weekly sessions will take 45 – 60 minutes on a Sunday morning and will be followed by a talk by members of our community (rabbi, teacher, community leaders, nutritionist, psychologist, talk about Judaism, Israel etc). we will enable exercise with peace of mind knowing your kids are well looked after and having fun.
