Beachside Dash

Depena Reserve at Dolls Point anchors the Beachside Dash, a 19th-year community run supporting the St George & Sutherland Medical Research Foundation. It feels like a local fixture rather than a competitive race: families, schools, beginners, and regular runners gather for a morning of movement, community, and purpose by Botany Bay. The course is entirely flat, following a path from Depena Reserve to Monterey and back on well-maintained foreshore pathways, with bay views throughout. It is a route where first-timers can settle in, quicker runners can chase a clean effort, and younger participants get an introduction before medals, food, entertainment, and playground time conclude the morning.
