KR 2nd Annual Metro Crawl this Saturday
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
After the great success of last year’s Metro Crawl, we are going to do it all again this Saturday 13th June. Starting at 11am at the General Gordon Hotel opposite the entrance of Sydenham Station. After a drink there we will hit the Metro and move our way up the line all the way to Chatswood stopping at each station along the way and finding a watering hole before heading to the next station. We have all new pubs to visit this year except for two favourites are being revisited.
Below is the list of stations, pubs and approximate times we will be at each one. We encourage everyone to come along and either join for the whole journey, or as many as you would like. Luzaan or I will keep the various chats and FB updated with where we are along the journey.
See below for list of stations and pubs.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday.
Tonight is the last Thursday night for Vivid and the last time in 2026 we will being doing this version of the Vivid Variation course. I know we will all be happy to be back to the Classic course next week.
As I wrote about last week, we ask that if you are running with KR tonight that you do this alternate course and do not attempt to do the standard KRClassic Course.
Vivid was very busy on Monday when we did the KR10k Variation and I’m sure tonight will be another mild winter evening and so will be even busier than ever as Vivid winds down.
Below is map of the run and I’ve included the link to the GPX file on our FB page. The course is quite easy follow and a bit of fun as a variation.

20th Anniversary Update
Stay tuned for the Al-mazing Race announcement!
The calendar of course, has all the regular KR runs as well as the major races that we will be following and promoting. We will add to the races as the year goes on. If you have a favourite race, then let me know and we can add it.
Upcoming Events
Monthly Long Run Sunday. Next one is on Sunday 21st June there will be 10k, 20k and 30k options. Save the date!
Tuesday Speed Sessions. We will be meeting at 6:30pm at the usual spot at Gore Hill Oval. It is open to all and if you want to know more details, please reach out to me.
Upcoming Races
Check out the new Paramatta Half held in June which should be a good race to head out west for. They’ve just released the new course. Now sold out!
Another great local 10k race is the Real Insurance harbour 10k a flat fast course along the foreshore. So far we have 26 people in the KR team and would love to have you join us.
Next Sri Chinmoy race will be on Sunday the 12th June at Dolls Point for a half, 10k and 5k event. These races are a friendly, low pressure local race series that is very reasonably priced, have various distances on offer and held in some of the most scenic parts of Sydney. 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.

If you are bringing bags tonight, Evelyn will have her car there to hold them for you. As always please collect them straight after the finish photo. Thank you Evelyn, much appreciated.
Regarding the bag drop, to help keep KR running smoothly I have asked Trevor to take on being the coordinator for Monday and Thursday nights to ensure there is a car to enable the bag drop. He has a group chat and would love to add you to it if you are able to help from time to time.
That’s a wrap for this week; remember to take care of yourself, and if you can, others.
Keep running @everyone and happy 20th Anniversary Kirribilli Runners!
