feature perth hits the pavement for the chevron city to surf for activ
More than 17,000 people, including close to 1,250 Team Chevron participants, hit the pavement for the 45th annual Chevron City to Surf for Activ on Sunday 25 August.
The sun shone for our 10th year as sponsor of Activ's flagship annual fundraising event, which benefits people living with disability and their families in Western Australia.
Team Chevron Captain and General Manager Finance Jake Spiering sounded the horn for the 12-kilometre event then joined the crowd to run to the finish line.
“The Chevron City to Surf for Activ is our largest workforce participation event, and I was proud to see so many Team Chevron participants on the course.
“There was such a great buzz in the air and a real feeling of community spirit – it’s amazing to see so many people come together to support those in our community who need a little extra help.
