If you are following the BRS Lead up to Cooks Plan - this week is a rest week.  So 12km only.  NICE!!!!

Congratulations and Thanks

A massive congratulations to all who ventured out to Warwick last weeken for the Pentathrun.  I love these smaller events, no hassles with parking and always a great atmosphere.  

I want to make special mention and a big thanks to Nick and Michelle W for taking such awesome photos.  And thanks to others who also shared some photos with us.

Up Coming Events

Warwick Pentathrun
Saturday 20th May - Sunday 21st May


 Less than 2 week to go!  We are very much looking forward to this weekend of running.  I hope everyone has their accommodation booked and don't forget about dinner Saturday night at Chung Hing Licensed Chinese Restaurant.

I have read that there will be day 1 event presentations at the official event dinner on Saturday night.  I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch, but, I hope anyone out there expecting to place on day 1 is not too disappointed to miss the presentation.  I am sure we can organise some way of getting any trophies received.

I have also heard a rumour that BRS Man may be making an appearance, and he is very excited to show off his new outfit!













Gold Coast Marathon
Saturday 1st July - Sunday 2nd July


We have officially paid for all entrants to the events on the weekend of the Gold Coast Marathon.
We have elected to do a group collection for the race packs, so, this means you (the entrants) have to do nothing>  How good is that?
We will try to hand out as many race packs as we can prior to the events, but as we cannot pick up the packs until Thursday before at the earliest, we will bring the packs to the tent before all events and you can pick them up there.

Yes, we will be bringing the BRS tent again this year and setting it up in the same area as last year (opposite Palmerston Towers in Mitchel Park)

As we don't have a hotel booked this year, only a camp site, we were looking at having the after race celebration in Mitchel Park and order pizzas.  We are open to suggestions however on this matter.

Happy Running
