Happy FriYAY Team!

This weekend marks one of the most iconic events on the running calendar — the 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon.

The 2025 TCS Sydney Marathon, celebrates its 1st year being the 7th Abbott World Major Marathon, this is HUGE in the marathon world! With its spectacular harbour views, world-class course, and electric atmosphere, it’s a race that captures the spirit of endurance and community.

Entry into the Sydney marathon wasn't just hitting the enter button when entries open! Previous marathon runners from 2022, 2023 & 2024 were guaranteed entries. Then, the ballot system was opened up and this was a random draw. 

We want to wish all of our club members and friends lining up at the start line an amazing experience out on course. Remember to trust the training, soak up the energy from the crowds, and enjoy every step through this beautiful city. You’ve already achieved so much by getting to the start line, and we’re all behind you as you take on this challenge.

May the TCS Sydney Marathon, a World Marathon Major,  leave you with lasting memories and a well-earned sense of achievement!

YOU are stronger than YOU think,

Alli

A SHOUT OUT to our amazing MSGold Crew heading out to Volunteer at Coastal High this Saturday and supporting Steve Jackson. These events can not go ahead without the support from the local community, so THANKYOU 🎉

OK Team. The QTS Race Season is about to kick start. In 5 weeks time, we are getting set to take on the Moreton Bay Club Champs, where every single one of us has the chance to make a difference! This event isn't about fast times or podiums, its about showing up, racing with a smile and representing OUR squad with pride. Every finisher earns point for the Club. The more we have on the start line, the stronger we are together and the louder we can make our presence felt.  Lets bring our MSGold energy, spirit and colours to Race 1 and kick start an exciting new season.
