Are you lucky enough to have the day off and are looking for something to do? Well, we have a couple of runs that may be of interest.
6am Meet at Coolangatta foreshore carpark (opposite McDonalds) for a run. It will be varying lengths depending who wants to do what. Initially, run from Coolangatta to Billinga and return (approx. 8 kms) and can then carry on through Rainbow Bay, Duranbah and along the Tweed River as far as you want to go…… Brekkie afterwards.
2pm Meet at the below Google point (Tullabudgera Connection Road) if you are interested in running through public accessed parts of the Anaconda run course. This should be a bit of fun….. or could be a bit scary for those entered in this event which is only 2 weeks away.

5pm Meet at 4th Avenue, Burleigh Heads for a casual get together. BYO food/drinks. Look forward to seeing you there
Well, fathers are not turkeys, but we are holding a turkey trot in their honour.
How well can you pace yourself? The turkey trot involves no watches but competitors have to run a certain distance within an allocated time. The closest to the time is the winner of the turkey trot.
Sound too complicated?
Don’t worry, just come down to the corner of 4th Ave and The Esplanade by 6:30am this Sunday and join in the fun. It will all be explained again. And if you still don’t get it, just run!
This Sunday we will be meeting at the corner of The Esplanade and 4th Ave at 6:15am for a beach run. There will be varying distances from 5 to about 12/13 km. All levels of runners are welcome.
This is the final winter run of the year so come and join us.
We look forward to seeing you.
In November 2012 you will have the chance to take part in one of the most unique sporting events the world has ever seen. And it’s in Australia.
The Solar Eclipse Marathon!
In the sky over Port Douglas, north of Cairns in Queensland, Australia, a total solar eclipse will occur on the morning of November 14, 2012. As the first rays of the Sun re-emerge from behind the Moon, the Marathon will start on the beautiful Four Mile Beach.
For more details see the Solar Eclipse Marathon website.
On Sunday, 21 August we will be meeting at the corner of 4th Ave and the Esplanade, Burleigh Heads for a beach run. The distances and pace will vary so runners of all abilities are welcome. Please meet at 6:15am for a 6:30am start. A gold coin donation is required and please sign in on arrival.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Whilst some members are in Sydney sweating it out up Heartbreak Hill, we will be having another beautiful, tranquil beach run. Starting at the corner of 4th Ave and the Esplanade, Burleigh Heads, at 6:30am we will have on offer runs of varying lengths from 5km up to around 12km. We may even see whales from the Burleigh headland!
Walkers are always welcome, too.
Good luck to those entering the City to Surf in Sydney. Enjoy the streets, the thousands of people and the fun of the run. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of interesting stories!
The Byron Bay fun run is going to be held on 16 October, 2011. A few members went down for the run last year and found it to be a well-organised run on a lovely course.
Early bird entries close on 16 September, 2011 at 3pm.
There are some great prizes to be handed out at the end of the run. Registration numbers will be sent out in September. See their website for details.
