EVENT OVERVIEW

The 20/twenty Challenge is an annual fundraising event hosted by Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

Each year teams of 4 people come together to raise much-needed funds for Cerebral Palsy Alliance and compete in a fun-filled 20km triathlon like event.

Course Summary:

The all-action event kicks off with an early morning swim at the beautiful Shelly Beach, then soak up the sun with a scenic 10km foreshore walk to Clontarf Beach.

A challenging paddle across to Mosman before commencing your next leg a 5km run/walk along the Mosman foreshore and finishing off with a last paddle back to Clontarf Beach.

Then enjoy a fabulous lunch and a bit of banter with your fellow team mates.

All teams are challenged to raise at least $8,000 and all funds will help kids and people living with cerebral palsy live their best life by providing them with the right equipment at the right time.
