A Group of Friends Conquering the City2Surf: The Babblers' Journey of Laughter and Adventure
The Ballina Babblers, a group of friends aged 67 to 85, are set to tackle the 2026 City2Surf race, celebrating 25 years of their annual participation. Known for their infectious banter and camaraderie, the group has grown from 10 members in 2001 to 21 today, with some members passing away and others joining as their grandchildren, dubbed 'bubblers.' Their bond has been a lifeline for Anne Sharpe, 85, who relied on the group after her husband's death. The Babblers, originally hockey players who won NSW veterans championships, now aim to complete the 14-kilometre course at a leisurely pace amid a field of over 90,000 participants. Their story highlights how shared laughter and friendship sustain older adults, with members like Jenny Seymour describing their circle as a 'babbler family.' Beyond running, they engage in swimming, cycling, book clubs, and wine nights, proving that community and connection are vital for aging gracefully.
