Lake Crackenback Guests to Train with Sporting Legends

Guests at the Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa in Australia will be able to participate in sports training clinics with some of Australia’s finest athletes for a gold coin donation to raise funds for Movember charities associated with men’s health.

The training clinics will take place at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa on Saturday, 1 December 2012 between 09:30 and 10:30.

World Ironman champion, Pete Jacobs, fresh from winning the world’s toughest triathlon event will conduct a triathlon swim and run a clinic around the facilities at Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa. Participants need to bring swimming and running gear.

Rugby League and Rugby Union legends Ben Ikin and Mark Ella will join forces with the local 2012 premiers Jindabyne Bushpigs for a fun-filled footy clinic for the kids. The program will include passing and kicking drills and a touch footy game. After the game the stars will be signing autographs, so kids are reminded to bring their favourite footy or jersey.

One of Australia’s most inspirational athletes, summer and winter paralympian Michael Milton will be leading mountain bike riding clinics. If you don’t have a bike, that’s okay, you can borrow one of the Giant cross country bikes from Activate. Those with their own bikes are asked to bring their bike, riding clothes and helmet.

Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa General Manager Scott O’Neile said it was a great opportunity for the local community to visit Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa and pick up some tips from some of Australia’s finest athletes.

“For the cost of a gold coin donation, local kids can really hone their skills and have an awesome sporting experience with one of the legends,” said Scott. “Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa has really got behind the Movember charity this year with month long fundraising activities. The event culminates with a Celebrity Sportsman’s lunch on Friday, 30 November and each of these athletes are celebrity guests along with some other great sporting legends.”

Tickets for the Sportsman’s Lunch are still available for A$95 which includes a A$5 donation to raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues.

Movember Sportsman weekend packages start from just A$298 per person and include two nights accommodation, daily hot breakfast, two tickets to the Movember Sportsman’s Lunch, early check-in, late check-out, use of all of the resort’s free activities and a 10% discount card to use at Crackers’s Shop, Activate or the Day Spa.
