In 2009 the first Active8Change event was being planned while Steve was still working full-time as a school PE teacher. The first event was the 2010 Adelaide Resolution Run and was held at Elder Park. Participants could choose from either a 4. 5 km or 7 km course.
Since this first event, Active8Change has continued to provide a range of events including fun runs, bike rides, stair climbs and other sport related experiences.
