KR March Long Run This Sunday
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
Hope everyone is enjoying the week and looking forward to joining us all for KRClassic tonight. It will be a great night for running across the Bridge on what will be a lovely warm Autumn evening.
Well done to all the KRew who went out to Orange for the running festival last weekend, by all accounts a great time was had by all. Well done to you all awesome Repping the Red.
Upcoming Events
KR Long Run is on this weekend16th March! This week Tully and his team will be leading the KRew out to Middlehead and return. Start is at 7am on Sunday morning meeting at the usual spot at the base of the steps in Kirribilli.
The next TCS Sydney Marathon Run Club training run will be held on 30th March, to avoid disappointment make sure you sign up not for this free event now.
Upcoming Races
Many local and Australian 2025 races are now open for registration and if you think you will run any of them, I encourage you to sign up straight away as they will sell out. (Both Gold Coast marathon and half marathon, along with Melbourne marathon have already sold out.)
The Women’s Nike Reclaim The Night Run, registrations have now closed. I hope a few the KRew have made it in the race and I look forward to hearing about how it goes.

Canberra Marathon 2025 registration is now open. I’m expecting a big contingent of the KRew will be heading to Canberra for this beautiful Autumn Day run through our Nation’s Capital. https://solemotive.com/pages/canberra-times-marathon-festival
The Hoka Half in May has sold out, so if you missed out try again now or consider becoming one of our official volunteers or coming down and support the KRew running this iconic event. https://runawaysydneyhalf.com.au/
The Bay to Bay Running Festival 2025 on Sunday 15th June has just opened registrations. This is a hugely popular event that runs from Woy Woy to Gosford and last year was a sellout. I know a lot of the KRew will want to do this race, so sign up now and join the Kirribilli Runners team for a great morning of running on the central coast. https://www.baytobay.org.au/
City to Surf, this year will be 10th August, just a few weeks before the Sydney Marathon and will be a great last fast race before the main event. We hear that registrations will open for City to Surf on 26th March. I suggest if you want to get a good start group sign up early, secure your spot and get those early bird discounts.
Sydney Marathon, has been moved to 31st August and the ballot entries have now closed and entries confirmed. If you missed out, consider becoming an official volunteer or coming down and supporting the KRew.
Bare Creek 20k Trail Race will be held on 2nd November. In KR I know we have a lot of trail runners, those who think that spending the day out on the trails running mountains and fording streams is the only way to be free. But as a club we haven’t really supported any of the many trail races that are on around Sydney. So this year I hope we can get a big contingent of the KRew up to Acron Oval to take on this beautiful course in Gariybv gal National Park. https://barecreektrailrun.com.au
For a friendly, low pressure local race series that is very reasonably priced, has various distances on offer and held is some of the most scenic parts of Sydney, check our Sri Chinmoy. https://au.srichinmoyraces.org/sydneyraces
Of course, there are many races throughout the year that the KR will do, such as those out at Sydney Olympic Park and around the foreshore. We will highlight as many we think of, but if you have one to promote you think the KRew will love, let us know!
If you want to find some races for yourself, I highly recommend using The Running Calendar website which lists just about every race in Australia. If you find a race that has a KR Team and needs a code let me know. Or if you are the first KR to sign up for a race, please create a KR team and let me know.

Tuesday Speed Sessions these are led by either Scott, or myself and are held every Tuesday at the place Gore Hill Oval at 6:30pm. See you there!
If you are bringing bags tonight, Evelyn we will be there with her car to hold them whilst you run. (But please pick them up as soon as we have finished the run!) Thank you Evelyn, very much appreciated!!
That’s a wrap for this week; remember to take care of yourself and others.
Keep running @everyone and happy trails,
Steve
