Running Rotto

23.10.2016

Fresh from completing the Chevron City to Surf half marathon at the end of August, I was looking for my next fitness challenge before my 'runners high' wore off... When I discovered that my favourite little island of Rottnest hosted an annual running event, there was no question – I was doing it! </P> <P>Those of you who read regularly will know I have a complete love-affair with the gorgeous little island just off the coast of Perth. I’ve visited a whopping seven times in just under three years and so I knew I had to do the Rotto half. And so, less than a week after completing the City to Surf half marathon, I had my place on the Rottnest half marathon booked and the 6am ferry from Freo paid for... </P>

<p class="p1">Anyone who knows me, knows I have an absolute obsession with Rottnest Island. Located just off the coast of Perth, 26.9km South-West of Hillary’s Boat Harbour - a few minutes drive from home - Rottnest is a little patch of paradise, with its picturesque scenery and some of the world's most stunning bays and beaches. Rottnest Island, affectionately referred to as ‘Rotto’ by locals has a special place in Western Australia's heart and is the perfect Island getaway for a day, weekend or longer if you’re really lucky.</p> <p class="p1">In the two years that I've lived in WA, I have now visited the pretty little island six times - and even saw in 2016 at their NYE Beach Party... So you can imagine my delight when the lovely guys at Rottnest Fast Ferries got in touch to say how much they loved my NYE blog - and to invite me on a day trip over to Rotto on their shiny new vessel, Voyager!</p>
