20th Anniversary Shirts Available Now!
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
As I announced on Tuesday, the 20th Anniversary Shirt is now available to order at the KR Shop. People are loving the new logo that we’ve added to the shirt, and I think it is going to be a popular clothing choice for the KRew in 2026 and beyond.
As well as the usual range of KR branded gear you will notice there is a new light running jacket been added to the shop. It is available in Red and Black and looks awesome. Shop will close 19th October so that we can get the shirts in time for Christmas.

11th October is the Biennial KR Wine Tour. This event is only $70 for the bus and is limited to 40 people. (News Flash only 18 seats left!) So be quick and let Luzaan know if you are coming and she will put you on the list. (See event invite on FB.)
Next Tuesday is the 2nd Annual NRG v KR 4 by 60 Invitational Relay. We have 10 teams so far, but it’s not too late for you to join if you want to be part of the team. Or if you don’t want to race then come along to Gore Hill Oval from 6pm and cheer on and support the KRew as we show NRG how to do a relay. Cost is only $10 for beer and pizza post the race, not payable if you don’t drink beer or eat pizza.
Save the Date – KR Christmas Party confirmed for Sunday 7th December. Each year we hold our annual Christmas Party, always a big event on the KR calendar where we share food, laughs and of course announce the KR Member of the Year. I will confirm the location closer to the date, so stay tuned.
Upcoming Events
Next KR long run this Sunday 19th October. Tully will release the course and run leads closer to the date. See you all there.
Tuesday Speed Sessions these are held every Tuesday at the place Gore Hill Oval at 6:30pm. All Welcome! See you there!
Upcoming Races
Bare Creek 20k Trail Race (ENTRIES NOW OPEN) 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.

If you are bringing bags tonight, Trevor 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, Trevor much appreciated!
That’s a wrap for this week; remember to take care of yourself, and if you can, others.
Keep running @everyone and happy trails,
Steve
