Happy FriYAY Team!

So last week I planted the seed for World Triathlon Championships in Wollongong for Oct 2025. But of course, not all of us are triathletes, therefore this does leave out plenty of our loyal members and athletes to be part of a squad A Race. 

So..... what do the majority of us love doing? Running of course!

There is so many run events on the calendar which appeal to  many of us, some here on the coast, and some we can make a getaway/mini holidays, particularly if the destination is less than 2 hours up the highway at a beach location! Sounds very appealing doesn't it! I honestly believe the Sunny Coast Run Festival is a definite highlight event!

Each year this event offers the marathon, 1/2marathon, 10k, 5k and 2.5k kids run…..it is super hectic, but all events are on the same day and over the same course! It truly is an awesome event and one which caters for all abilities and goals. 

I have done this race for about the last 10 years and each year when entries open, I’m entered without any second thoughts! . After all these years, this event still sets alight that internal fire that keeps me going back and wanting to hit certain goals.

Entries for this race open soon, think outside the usual race calendar and set yourself a goal which may be slightly outside that comfort zone. Trust me, you'll be wanting to go back for more. Let’s look at getting a Team together for 2025 and really making it a squad event for our athletes and families to be part of. 

Find your Fire,

Alli

Our On Tour for the month of September will see us chasing the Letter J in our Alphabet, so over the mountain we go to Jeune, out Beaudesert way! This course is entirely on trails (or grass paddocks!) and is 2 laps! Hopefully there wont be any rain in the days leading up to this date, otherwise we will be having fun through mud & puddles LOL!!! 

Lets make this another adventure out for our crew, somewhere different and fun, and of course, we will search out the best local cafe for breakkie and coffee afterwards

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

With the new 2024-2025 Triathlon season kicking off on 1st July 2024, NOW is the time to start logging in your race results. Every parkrun, every race is worth valuable points, so be in it to win and lets see how is going to be our new Club Male & Female Champions!
