Community members are invited to join Jamie Haynes and the STAND initiative for a run, jog, walk, shuffle - or a mix of them all.
People of all ages and genders are encouraged to take part in this free community club.
Starting on Saturday, March 14, the group will meet at the Big Fish on the Tocumwal Foreshore at 7am.
A course will be available, however the main aim is to provide a regular meeting point and an opportunity for people to move, socialise and start the weekend on a positive note.
After the session, participants can continue with their weekend or enjoy a coffee at The Fifth Daughter Cafe.
There are no finish line medals and no recorded times, just a welcoming environment for a great cause.
The STAND initiative stands for Strength Through Action Not Discussion and aims to provide men with a space where strength is built through action, not just words.
Their mission is to create a community where men support each other, engage in real world activities, and offer a path forward that doesn’t rely on forced conversations.

The Tocumwal Girls Shed raffle held last week was won by Kathy, who was camping with her family on Town Beach.
The Girls Shed thanks everyone who purchased a ticket in the raffle and hopes Kathy enjoys her lovely quilt.
Money raised by the raffle and the efforts of Girls’ Shed members will be used to buy toiletries to fill Escape Bags for victims of domestic violence.
The Girls Shed also thanks Julie Green who donated a lot of her fragrant soaps to the cause, and to Christine Good of Lavender Pink long arm quilting who put the finishing touches to the quilt.
