Mizuno Shoe Testing Tonight
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
Tonight Nick and our friends from Running Warehouse are bringing Mizuno shoe for us to test on the KRClassic course. These sessions are very popular, and I know that many of the KRew now have some awesome new running shoes as a result of these testing sessions. Nothing like a good run in a pair of shoes to see if they are right for you.
KR Shop is Closed
The shop has now closed, and the orders have been placed and will be delivered in about 6 to 8 weeks time.
Last weekend we held the 3rd Annual RunDrinkRepeat games, sadly due to a racing commitment I missed it, but from what I hear it was a fun afternoon made even more fun with some friends from NRG coming along. Congratulations to John John who demonstrated that he is a class above by winning a lap ahead of the second place.
We will do it all again in 12 months’ time, stay tuned.
Upcoming Events
Save the date, next KR Long Run will be 16th March! Stay tuned for more details closer to the date.
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.)
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. Stay tuned and we will let you know when registrations open for thisSydney 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,
