ABOUT US
The Roo Run is a fundraising initiative of the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club. The club itself consists of yachties as the name suggests with the ‘Motor’ in the name referring to all our recreational fishermen plus an ever- increasing number in our membership now extends to board riders and families who use the beach. The AMYC club house is the base for the ASLSC beach patrol at Point Roadknight and we also operate a 6 metre rescue boat which not only starts the catamaran races you see out there in weekends through the summer but also functions in ocean rescues, especially of fishermen who get into difficulty. The rescue boat needs to be replaced every 5 years or so and up to now this was donated by Alcoa as a contribution to the community. With Alcoa leaving Anglesea we now have to fund replacement rescue boats ourselves. An ongoing funding initiative is to upgrade and extend the AMYC club house, partly to house a new large size rubber ducky capable of quickly accessing the Anglesea back beach, which has experienced drownings over the years as there is no life saving presence there and launching rescue craft from the ASLSC surf beach storage takes too long. As an added benefit, the extended top deck will turn the 5.00pm – 8.00pm Christmas holiday Rusty Anchor Bar into arguably the best casual beach bar on the West Coast given our beachside position and will mean we will all actually be able to hear ourselves talk and even get to move around!
Which brings us to the Roo Run. Running the night before the December 28 ASLSC ROCK 2 RAMP ocean swim; the Roo Run offers elite and serious runners (8km), recreational runners and teams (4km), kids under 12 (1.5km Grommet Gallop) and physically challenged kids and young adults (Starfish Nippers with their carers) the fun and incentive of family friendly competition; whilst the Surf & Turf section provides a great tie-in with the Rock 2 Ramp. In other words, Roo Run offers visitors and locals a family-based summer fun run utilising our beautiful beach, coastal walk tracks and Anglesea river walk and is quickly becoming a must on the Anglesea summer holiday calendar.
In addition to fundraising for the AMYC itself Roo Run and our Sponsors also support local community organisations such as The Anglesea Primary School, Men’s Shed and Lions Club.

Great Ocean Road Real Estate – Message from the Sponsor – Nov 2017
|
"We are thrilled to be the major sponsor of the Anglesea Motor Yacht Club. I consider this club and the location at Point Roadknight as the most valuable asset in Anglesea. Of course more than the incredible beach and views from the venue itself, the overall sense of community and spirit by everyone involved has made our association incredibly rewarding.
Great Ocean Road Real Estate continues to be the largest premium real estate brand on the Great Ocean Road with positive results, we’re incredibly proud of. We are grateful to have worked with many clients including contracting over 250 property sales in the last 12 month. We are also fortunate to be entrusted with managing approx 1200 properties along the coast. We are truly passionate about what we do and genuinely love the area we’re blessed to work in. Looking forward to seeing you at the Rusty Anchor over the summer or the many events throughout the year. Please contact me or any of our team if you require assistance with Holiday Accommodation, Permanent Rental, Purchasing or Selling a Property, in what I refer to as Paradise! Thank you to Wes and the committee, wonderful to be continuing our partnership for another year."
