SEQ Trail Race 2, Thank-you and stuff

SEQ Trail Run Race 2

So the second event run by the fabulous 'Those Guys' events is taking place this Sunday at Numinbah.

The event will be staged out of Numinbah Hall in the Numinbah Valley. This is on Nerang‐Murwillumbah Rd in Numinbah Village.

Event parking will be on private land adjacent to the hall.

See the participants guide for all details.  Hope to see some of you there!

REMEMBER: This event is a “no‐cup” event. There will be no on‐course water stations at this event and runners will be required to carry their own supplies as they deem necessary.


THANK-YOU FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE!

Thank-you to everybody that helped us celebrate BRSers 7th Birthday! Those who attended the party as well as those you wrote us messages of support and congratulations.

It was so fabulous to present our 7th round of BRS Mug Trophies.....they are highly sort after awards!!

Congratulations to these special awards winners for 2016:

1. Andrew M!
So for the third time, Andrew has been our most consistent training attendee!! Not only does he come to sessions regularly, but he always helps out with the drinks, bags, kids, and participants in heaps of events. He also gets a special mention this year for his time improvements, particularly his Marathon PB for 2016!!

2. Michelle K
As a relatively new BRSer, it has been so wonderful to see Michelle's smiles at training and even BIGGER smiles with all the PBS she has achieved this year. She has smashed her half marathon PB and has hit some new achievements in her parkrun campaigns. Well done to our most improved for 2016

3. Dan D
An overwhelming majority vote for our 2016 Runners' Runner!
A few comments from the voters:

Dan inspires me by his endless goal setting and achieving. He not only loves the running, he loves getting BRSers together for social occasions

Loves running and loves drinking. My kind of guy

Whether racing, cheering, or taking pics... Dan represented BRS at so many events this year. Next calling... BRS MAN!

Dan has become a BRS stalwart... he loves running and being part of BRS, he is always upbeat, positive and encouraging. Definitely worthy of runner's runner!

Special mention to Nick, Will and Janet J who also received votes.

Nick M
The fabulous Nick was runner up in all three categories!! that deserves a mention and a 1hour fee massage with RechargeHQ!!

Matt & Liss
Matt and Liss have had a big year, bubba two, coaching, and both hitting peak if not peaker form!! (if that is even a word!). We are so honoured to have you as part of the coaching team and BRS family!
We hope you love your new BRS drinking vessels and you will think of us everything you use them!
