At 50 years old, Bev didn’t think she was “a fitness person.” She simply wanted to run 5km… but the hills kept getting the better of her.
So, in 2011, she asked for help and joined Run Walk For Life. That decision changed everything.
Fast forward 15 years, and Bev has walked over 15,000 kilometres.
But here’s the part that really matters:
She didn’t start fit.
She didn’t start confident.
She just started.
Along the way, Bev discovered something surprising — she actually loved walking. Not just for fitness, but for how it made her feel: stronger, healthier, and happier.
Today, Bev has completed incredible challenges, including:
• 300km over 10 days
• 50km in a single day
• Several multi-day walking adventures
But ask Bev what Run Walk For Life really means to her, and it’s not about the distances.
“It’s the people. The friendships. The support. Even if you’re an introvert, you’ll find your place.”
At Run Walk For Life Fourways, Bev found:
• A safe, supportive environment
• A fun way to get fit
• A community that celebrates every step
• The freedom to go at her own pace — no pressure
And now, as a road leader, she helps others take their first steps… just like she once did.
Her message to you?
“You don’t have to be fit to start. You just have to show up.”
Whether you can walk 1km or 5km, whether you want to lose weight, get fit, or simply get out of the house and meet people — there’s a place for you here.
Because at Run Walk For Life Fourways, it’s not about being the best.
It’s about starting… and never walking alone.
