On Saturday 16th July 2016 Fistral beach, Newquay UK saw over 200 girls take part in Roxy’s #ROXYFITNESS event (formerly #RUNSUPYOGA) where they participated in a relaxing yoga session by the sea, competitive beach run and challenging SUP race.

The #ROXYFITNESS event commenced with a dynamic flow yoga class hosted by Roxy ambassador and yoga Instructor, Emma Jaulin, and saw around 200 girls throughout the session. This was then followed by competitors taking part in the 3km beach run under the early afternoon sun.

Shortly after, the competitors re-energised and prepared for the SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) race which saw participants battle with the white water to reach the buoy, whist safety jet skis were on hand nearby. Once past the bouy they headed straight to finish line on the beach, with all spectators on hand for moral support. The event concluded with a prize giving ceremony giving the run winner, Sarah Faragher £500 of Roxy product and wireless active headphones from Philips. Then SUP winner, Sarah Woolf was presented with a Roxy SUP board courtesy of Ann’s Cottage.
