Overview

Whether you're puffed out from tackling City2Surf or just seeking a different kind of cool down on a Sunday morning, Gelato Messina has teamed up with New Balance and the Unofficial Run Club for a one-day takeover in Bondi.

This post-run recovery is sweeter than usual, featuring 2000 free scoops of gelato in two limited-edition flavours inspired by New Balance's high-performance footwear. Specifically, that'd be on-trend colourways of the New Balance FuelCell Rebel v5.

With the same dedication as a world-class athlete, Messina's ice cream chefs have created a pair of winning flavours just for the occasion. You've got creamy choc malt gelato swirled with nougat gelato or the earthy notes of matcha gelato combined with swirls of dulce de leche.

Scooping from 10am on Sunday, August 10, don't wait to make tracks to Gelato Messina Bondi. With these exercise-inspired flavours available on a first-come, first-served basis, plan a pitstop on the way home after the main event or treat it as motivation to embark on a mid-morning power walk.
