Birthday Party Date Change

Due to some conflicting race obligations, we are moving the date of our BRS birthday party to Saturday 22nd October.

More details to follow.

However, I can tell you that this event will be both kid and adult friendly with lots of fun to be had by all.  It is free!  And we are currently looking into some transportation to and from the event so everyone can have a good time and not have to worry about transport.

Bridge to Brisbane Day & Saturday Session

Bridge to Brisbane Day

It was so wonderful to see so many BRSers out and about at the Bridge to Brisbane last Saturday. Debriefing with a few of you afterwards and the other coaches, everybody really seemed to enjoy the new course, I know I did! so scenic, constantly new things to look at, twist, turns, ups and downs!
Well organised and I am already looking forward to doing it in 2017!

Saturday Session

Matt and I are psyching ourselves up for Spartan 21km Beast Event this Saturday, 21km of running with 35 obstacles thrown in to keep us honest. So there will be no coaches at training on Saturday but don't let that stop you!! Meet up on the steps or a casual Saturday run.

When: Saturday 3rd September

Where: Southbank Surf Club steps

Time: 6am - 7:30am

What:  Warm up then parkrun for Personal Better Day 2016, presented by Medibank and parkrun. 
             or go hit out for a 1-1.5 hour run!                   + COFFEE & BREAKY! 

Happy Running
