Brooks Shoe Testing Tonight
Steve Kibble
Greetings KRew
Tonight we are having another in our shoe testing series. This week we are fortunate to have Brooks come along bringing with them the Hyperion Max 3 and Hyperion Elite 5 for us to try. Nick will be there with Brooks at about 6:20pm so come along early to secure your size for a trial run on the KRClassic Course
This Sunday sees the running of the largest fun run in the Southern Hemisphere for the 55th running of City2Surf. I’m expecting about 40 of the KRew to be starting from various groups to run this iconic 14km course to Bondi Beach.
We will gather at the Archibald Fountain in Hyde Park at 6:45am for the traditional start photo, so come along and join the KRew, Repping the Red.
Post race will be the traditional post-race drinks at the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi. This place always packs out early so make sure you head straight there after you finish and join the fun.
KR turns 20 in 2026
Next year Kirribilli Runners we will be celebrating 20 years of being the best social running club in Sydney. To help us celebrate we want to release a special 20th Anniversary edition of the famous Red Shirt. (Entries closing soon)
This is where YOU come in, are you a designer, or know someone who is who can help us design the 20thAnniversary special logo, then please contact me urgently. Voting will open soon.
Volunteers for Sydney Marathon
If you’d like to be an official volunteer for Sydney Marathon, please see the KR volunteer coordinator Florence who would love to get you involved.
Upcoming Events
KR long run will join with the Sydney Marathon Training Run on this Sunday 17th August and will be the last long run for many people before taking on Sydney marathon on 31st August. Make sure you sign up for great prize draws as well as some good long run hit outs.
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.)
Sydney Marathon is now only 3 weeks away and the ballot entries have long been 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 (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.

Tuesday Speed Sessions these are held every Tuesday at the place Gore Hill Oval at 6:30pm. All Welcome! See you there!
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
