Happy FriYAY Team!

It's that time when we celebrate the year which is about to come to an end, acknowledging our standout athletes with the yearly Awards & celebrate the festive season with a Christmas Party entertaining sporting activity!  

One of the highlights of the Awards, is the recognition of the Athletes Athlete. The athlete throughout the year who has inspired you, motivated you and proved that anything is possible regardless of the finish time or position. This is not an award for the fastest or most successful athlete, but the one who has represented Multisport Gold on every level throughout the year.

Over the years we have had athletes like Phil, Bangers, Jase, Lisa, Kath, Alan & 2022 was Matty B. Some truly inspirational people! 

The voting email will be landing in your inboxes over the weekend, so make sure you take the time to think about & submit your votes, on YOUR Athletes Athlete for 2023. Every vote counts. There has been a few years where the final results have been really close! Lets get voting Team....who will be our Athletes Athlete for 2023????? 

We celebrate Multisport Gold, our athletes, our families and all that we have achieved throughout the year.

Our activity this year will be our USS Games - the Urban Street Sports Games, were we will be laughing, hassling, embellishing skills, sharing friendly banter and generally have a great time closing out the year. We did this a few years ago and it was a huge success....don't miss out on the craziness!

All the details on our Awards & Christmas party are located in the Events on our Facebook page. I am so excited to be beginning the planning for Event of Events for 2023! 

Let's Make it Happen, 

Alli

Last Sunday saw some very miserable conditions for racing, with howling winds and rough seas, so it is a huge KUDOs to our team who raced over both the Classic and Sprint distances. These conditions always require extra concentration and caution as it is rare that we risk training in these conditions. Well done to our in-form athlete, Dorz on his 3rd place finish!

Saturday we have super runner Jezz on the start line of the Blackall 50km Ultra trail run. This is an extremely picturesque run, following much of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk, however has some very challenging ascents and descents. Have an awesome run Jezz.

This Sunday we have Mary & Liz running in the Bridge to Brisbane run. This is a tough run, starting over the Gateway Bridge then through rollers through Brisbane, finishing at the Brisbane Show Grounds! Have strong girls, and really enjoy the community experience! 

Sunday also welcome the start of the Masters Athletics Track season. Neill will be on the start line of both the 2km and 800m on Sunday, and as we have seen over recent weeks at track, those spikes are lighting it up! Lets Go Neill! 

17th November is the On Running Squad Relay held down at Broadwater Parklands. Last year was the 1st time this event was held, and it is safe to say that everyone who participated had an absolute blast. This event is a relay, so teams of 4 running 5km each over a flat & fast course. Please indicate your interest in this event on our Facebook pace as Coach Alli will be putting together teams over the weekend. This certainly is one event not to miss out on! Teamwork makes the Dreamwork !!  

Entries are now OPEN for Port Mac 2024....so who is in and for what distances? Had FOMO this year.....then don't miss out being part of the action next year!

SATURDAY 28th October

This is our parkrun on Tour Vol 2 #8, is at Mudgeeraba! Yes, we certainly have been travelling all over the countryside with our parkrun on Tour adventures again this year, and shared so much fun together! 

Most of us have run this course, so we know it is flat, fast & a great course for setting a PB or even an Age Category Record!

In true MultiSport Gold Style, having our colours out on course will be another great parkrun on Tour to remember. 

A warm up jog will be organized, details will be on our Facebook page closer to the date.

And, there will be coffee & breakfast afterwards, there is a number of great locations so watch this space! 

MultisportGOLD is all about community and encouraging members to push (safely) individual limits and become stronger athletes.
