NARRABEEN TRACK UPGRADE IN 2017/18

On Thursday 3 August 2017, the Sydney Pacific Athletic Club was advised by the NSW Office of Sport that the Narrabeen Track will be resurfaced. Funds have been allocated by the NSW Treasury as part of the 2017/18 NSW State Government Budget to undertake this work.

The timing/timeframe of the work is yet to be advised by the NSW Office of Sport.

Thank you very much to all Club members, the Manly Warringah Little Athletics Centre, Jason Falinski, Federal Member for Mackellar and our extended community for rallying over the past year for this very worthwhile cause!!
