SWAS 2023: Community unites for SWAS Fun Run along Australind Foreshore

People flocked to the Australind Foreshore last Saturday morning for the 2023 SWAS Albemarle Fun Run, much to the delight of academy chief executive Bernice Butlion.

“I was thrilled with the community’s support pre- and post-event,” she said.

“Additionally, Albemarle and the Shire of Harvey’s involvement in the event was greatly appreciated.”

Butlion said she believed the move to the Australind Foreshore three years ago has added another dimension to this impressive event.
