Happy Birthday to us!!!!!!!
We have officially turned 7. Our little running squad is growing up fast. Thanks to all who have stuck by us through the last 7 years and lets hope there is more fun to be had in the future.
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!

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.
