Happy Easter KRew
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
What a week last week was, firstly the fun of the 20th Anniversary celebration group run with some folks from the past joining us for a great night of running, laughter and a beer or two.
Then on Saturday it was great to have so many show up to Balls Head for the 20th Anniversary Party. A great afternoon of chatting, bush turkeys and food and drink. A small hard core group found their way back to the Rag and Famish to party on.
A big thanks to Karen C and Grace V for the Anniversary cake, it was excellent fun. Also thank to Ruud, who shared his wines and raised some money for a very worthwhile cause.
Well done everyone, I bet the next 20 years will be even bigger and better!
20th Anniversary Update
The fun and celebrations don’t stop, we still have more activities lined up so check out the 2026 KR Calendar. The calendar 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. The next long run will be 19 April the weekend after Canberra Running Festival.
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
Canberra Times Running Festival 11 and 12 April 2026. This is always a popular event for the KRew, and I know there will be a lot of us heading off to our Nation’s Capital for the weekend. If you are thinking of doing it, then sign up today.

As a hint 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.

On Easter Monday, Sri Chinmoy have the first race of the series with a 7k, 14k and 21k race at Centennial Park, check the website for details. 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 has promised to bring his car to hold them for you. As always please collect them straight after the photo. Thank you, Trevor, 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; have a great Easter KRew I hope you get in some running and stay safe out there during these uncertain times!
Remember to take care of yourself, and if you can, others.
Keep running @everyone and happy 20th Anniversary Kirribilli Runners!
