BRS Birthday Bash, Saturday Session & Cadbury on Tour Update

BRS Birthday Bash


We had originally scheduled the BRS Birthday bash for Saturday October 10th, however the Toohey's Forest Run has proven to be a popular one this year on Sunday 11th October, so we are rescheduling the bash!!

Please save the date in your diaries.....

Saturday afternoon/night 7th November 2015.

This is a 34km Saturday for our Cadbury/Maui Marathoners, so a well deserved party that night!
This is 1 week before the Tour de Tamborine so no clashes there!
This is 2 weeks out for Queenstown Marathoners who will be in taper!

Stay tuned, more details coming soon.

Saturday Session - 2 options

We are 14 weeks out from the 2016 BRS on tour event. For those of you doing the marathon and roughly following my plan, we are up to 25km this Saturday. For those focusing on 10km-21km or social goals, there is a perfect option for you this weekend too!

When: Saturday 3rd October

Where: Meet on the steps outside the Southbank Surf Club

Parking: Park underneath Southbank (in by 5am - out by 9am) for $2. Park at the middle pay station and exit near Max Brenners. This is the closest parking to the start point.



Time:
OPTION 1: 5:30am to 7:45am =  those wanting to do 20+ km
OPTION 2: 6:30am to 7:45am = those wanting to do 1-1.25 hours.

Renae will meet the early birds at 5:30am and Matt will meet the late birds at 6:30am
