Thursday and time for KRClassic
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
Hope everyone is having a good week for the first week of summer and enjoying the warm morning and evenings. It will be sweaty out there so make sure you stay hydrated for your run and drink plenty of water.
Upcoming Events
KR Christmas Party: This year the annual KR Christmas Party will be held on 15th December at Clark Park. We will start to gather in the usual place in the top park from about midday and please bring some food share and whatever you’d like to drink. We will be doing our prize giving and naming the KR Club Person of the Year for 2024. Save the date in your diary now.
KR Santa Run 2025 will be held on 19 December at KRClassic. This group run is a fun way for us all to dress as Santa and ring in the season. See you there!
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.
Sun Run opened this week with early bird entry, always a great way to kick off the year of racing with a quick 10k dash from Dee Why to Manly. https://www.sunrun.com.au/
The Hoka Half in May is now open and you better be quick as I hear the 10k race has already sold out. https://runawaysydneyhalf.com.au/
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 capitol. https://solemotive.com/pages/canberra-times-marathon-festival
Gold Coast Marathon 2025 opened for registration 3 days ago and I hear is now 95% sold out. There are other races that weekend so if you are keen for a weekend on the Gold Coast with the KRew sign up and join the KR team (Team code: 1234) https://goldcoastmarathon.com.au/
TCS Sydney Marathon 2025 general entry ballot opens in 4 days time. If you didn’t get a candidacy entry and want to run it in the first year as a Marathon Major then set your alarm and get into the general ballot. https://www.tcssydneymarathon.com/
Of course, there are many 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 was think of, but if you have one to promote you think the KRew will love, let us know!
If you want to find some for yourself, I highly recommend using The Running Calendar website which lists just about every race in Australia. https://www.runningcalendar.com.au/
Tuesday Speed Sessions, every week as most of you know we hold a speed session on Tuesday nights at Gore Hill Oval starting at 6:30pm. It is great to see about 14 or 15 people coming each week to work on their speed and push themselves on the various sessions that we do. All are welcome and for more details please message me directly.
If you are bringing bags tonight, Evelyn has volunteered to 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
Director
