Phoebe Cole Classic 2023
In 2025, we took our first steps out into the world through events like the Cole Classic and Sun Run. They weren’t just events on a calendar, but meaningful moments that brought people together, sparked conversations, and carried Phoebe’s spirit into shared spaces.
While our history is still growing, each event marks the beginning of something bigger. With every step, every conversation, and every person who joins us, the foundation is being laid for what’s to come.
We’re only just getting started - and there’s so much more ahead.

Sun Run - Manly
31 January - 9 plus our youngest athlete took part in the Sun Run, running the coastline at sunrise.
With a few added challenges along the way, the morning ended with a refreshing dip and time spent with friends and family who gathered to support and cheer from start to finish.
Cole Classic- Manly
22 February - 26 participants took part in the Cole Classic, competing across the 1km, 2km, and 5km events.
