Brisbane Marathon Festival

Congratulations to all who competed in the Brisbane Marathon Festival last weekend.  after looking at some of the photos posted by our members, it looked like everyone was having a ball.  It is so nice to see familiar surroundings while doing a race, I think we definitely had the home ground advantage.

I would like to make a special mention about one of our BRS favorites and coaches Matt Cooper.  He finished up with a second place in the Half Marathon at a blistering 1:15:56 and set himself a new PB.

Well done Matt, you will always be an inspiration.

Saturday 30th July saw a great turn out for the BRS Open Day which included an Urban orienteering event.

Teams competed as either runners or walkers to crack codes, decipher cryptic clues and discover objects located in and around the Southbank area.

After 1.5 hours of urban orienteering fun, all of the teams made it back to the finish line without incurring any penalties.

The winners of the running category was................Russia. (Drug test results still pending)
Featuring : Bridget, Dan, Matt A and Nick

The winners of the walking category was...............KLM
Featuring : Kathy, Lisa and Michelle W.

Congratulations to our winners and I hope you enjoy your engraved stemless wine glasses.

The day rounded out with a sausage sizzle, medals for the kids and prizes enough for everyone.

A massive thanks to our sponsors: Recharge HQ, Shoes Feet Gear, Mizuno, Bexter Soda Crystals and The Ship Inn.  Our day would not have been as grand without their support.
