Climate change focus for party

A local fitness business will celebrate its first year of operation on the Peninsula by hosting an environment fundraising party in Umina on March 20.

The Smooth Running fitness group has organised a "wild soiree" at the Umina See Lion Cafe from 7pm to raise money for The Wilderness Society and its environment campaigns to curb climate change.

Several members of the group will compete against 48 other teams in a 100 km WildEndurance Challenge trek in the Blue Mountains later this year.

The event's theme will be A Wild Night Out with entertainment donated by local band Stonefish.

Smooth Running owner Ms Amanda Falvey said her outdoor personal and group fitness business has grown steadily since it began in March last year during the midst of the global financial crisis.

Ms Falvey encouraged people to donate and support the Smooth Running's WildEndurance efforts.
