KRClassic Vivid 2025 Sneak Peak
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
It is that time of year when Sydney Lights Up in an extravaganza of light installations along the harbour foreshore from the Botanic Gardens to Darling Harbour and beyond. This means from next week for 3 weeks, both the KR10k and KRClassic, will be using the Vivid Variations of their courses. But tonight, we will be on the regular course and get a sneak peak of the coming spectacular. (Hint, as you are running by check out the Customs House and MCA shows.)
Well done to everyone who raced and ran last weekend, it was quite a weekend with multiple events and the ever-popular KR Long Run!
KR Shop is now open! We will open the shop this week so that you can order your awesome KR gear in time for the City2Surf and Sydney Marathon in August. Also, time to order your KR hoodie in time for the coming Winter. Don’t wait order NOW! https://kirribillirunners.org/shop/
Upcoming Events
Next KR long run will be Sunday 15th June with 10k, 20k and 30k options. If you would like to lead one of the groups for any of the distances, please see Tully I know he is keen to get you involved.
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.)
Mini-Mos has offered KR a discount code to get 10% off the entry price. If you fancy a quick 10k on Sunday 15th June. Use code RUNNER10
The Bay to Bay Running Festival 2025 on Sunday 15th June has now sold out of marathon and half marathon entries, but the 12k is still open and still worth running. https://www.baytobay.org.au/
Real Insurance 10k and 5k on Sunday 27th July has just opened for registration. This is flat fast event along the harbour foreshore in the city. A great event that usually attracts a lot of the KRew to lace up and get out for a quick 5 or 10k. Make sure you mention that you are a Kirribilli Runner at registration. https://harbour10.com.au/harbour10/
City2Surf 2025 is now open and really selling fast. Latest is that C2S is now 95% sold out! Get in fast and join 60 or more of the KRew on the annual dash from the city to Bondi Beach. UPDATE: Tully informs me that they have now resolved the team issue for C2S and you can now join the KR Team.
Please write to Ironman Group at city...@theironmangroup.com with your full name that you used for registration and be part of the Kirribilli Runners.
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. This year I hope we can get a big contingent of the KRew up to Acron Oval to take on this beautiful course in Garrigal 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 held every Tuesday at the place Gore Hill Oval at 6:30pm. All Welcome! See you there!
If you are bringing bags tonight, Greg will be there with his car to hold them whilst you run. (But please pick them up as soon as we have finished the run!) Thank you, Greg 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
