Symal at the finish line of Hill to Harbour 2025

Earlier this month, Symal proudly sponsored weekend one of the H Events NewRun festival, with a group of our Newcastle team participating in the Hill to Harbour event. 

From our General Managers and Site Engineers to our office crew, Team Symal showed up in force — taking on the full 12km course (including the infamous Memorial Drive Hill) or choosing the fast, flat 6km route that finished along the scenic harbour at Carrington. 

With over 3,300 people running, walking and rolling, this incredible community event is getting bigger and better every year. Taking part for the second year running, we’re committed to building better together in the communities we work in. 

"We’re proud to have sponsored this great community event, bringing together local families, fitness enthusiasts, and our very own team members. Supporting initiatives like this helps us stay connected with the community we’re part of — and seeing so many friendly faces (and a few sweaty ones!) made it all worthwhile.", says Ned Shanahan, Business Development Manager. 

From start to finish, the Hill to Harbour event was a celebration of health, community spirit, and resilience. Symal is proud to support events that bring people together, and we were thrilled to see our team cross the finish line with smiles, sweat, and a shared sense of achievement. 

“We had a mix of people running for their first time in an event, some people dusting off their runners after a couple of years and others running in prep for even bigger runs later in the year,” says Ned. 

Congratulations to all who participated — we’ll see you at the start line next year!
