TCS Sydney Marathon T-Shirt Thursday
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
Congratulations to all the KRew who ran on the weekend, what an awesome day!
Tonight to celebrate let’s again have the KRClassic Marathon T-Shirt Thursday where we encourage everyone to wear there newly acquired marathon shirts. If you were an official volunteer then please wear your volunteer short so we can acknowledge and celebrate the awesome job the volunteers did. And if you didn’t race on the weekend then to join in the fun, wear your favourite previous Sydney marathon shirt or favourite race shirt from anywhere! (Of course everyone can wear their KR shirts too!)
KR Cheer Squad I’d like to a huge thank you and shout out to the KR supporters that lined the field, was so good to hear so many yelling out “Go KR” at various places around the course. You all ROCK and make it so much more enjoyable to for those of us racing on the day.
Shop is Open! shop is now open for all your KR gear. Shop must close October 7th. We have a wide range of men’s and women’s t-shirts, crop tops and singlets, plus caps and visors, and don’t forget to order you KR jacket and Hoodie as well. It is always great to see so many of us running and racing Repping the Red in the great gear fro Sub4. https://www.sub4.com.au/category/kirribilli-runners/
Upcoming Events
This Saturday 21st September at 1pm is the KR Social Event, Greg has organised the KR BBQ at Chinamans Beach. This will be a great way to gather in an informal setting and celebrate the life of KR. https://forms.gle/9RQcSnWdpd81ngbo9
Sadly, Sydney marathon really marks the end of the official KR supported races for 2024. This is a series of races that we like to make a special effort for the club each year. However, don’t despair as there is still some great races left his year that the KRew will be at Repping the Red. The biggest of these is the sold-out Melbourne Marathon in October. At the end of October is the Bondi2Manly Ultra for those wanting a huge and incredibly scenic challenge can do the full 80k event. For those wanting the experience and run with some friends there is the relay event.
Sri Chimnoy still have a couple of events left, including the marathon and half-marathon in Royal National Park, always a good event and I know that we have a few KRew going down for it. There is a still a few events in NSW at places like Orange for Lonely Mountain.
Plenty to keep us all occupied until the KR Christmas Party. Date to be announced shortly.
Lastly, a lot of races have opened registration for 2025, and based on how quickly they sold out last year, if you are thinking of running them, sign up now!
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 recommend using The Running Calendar website which lists just about every race in Australia.
Tuesday Recovery Speed Session will be on next week, 6:30pm at Gore Hill Oval, all welcome!
If you are bringing bags tonight, Evelyn and Greg will be there with their cars to hold them whilst you run. (But please pick them up as soon as we have finished the run!) Thank you, Evelyn and Greg much appreciated!!
Don’t forget, post the run, we always head to the KH for a post run drink or two, then to the long time KR pizza place for awesome pizza at a discounted price from Hendra and his crew.
That’s a wrap for this week; remember to take care of yourself and others.
Keep running @everyone and happy trails,
Steve
