Happy FriYAY Team!

There has been much excitement over recent weeks with the arrival of our new squad kit! 

The original Multisport Gold kit was produced by Champs-Sys 8 years ago, and moving forward with the times, their design team have injected some new colours whilst still holding onto some of the key elements of our previous look.

To see our bold new colours now on show within the community, and squad members so proud to be representing Multiport Gold in our vibrant kit, really does make me so excited! We really are going to be a standout feature this race season. 

To add to the wardrobe, is the highly fashionable bucket hats for all our TQ/Multisport Gold Members. How many peeps have always wanted a bucket hat, and now, how cool do we all look! 

The new designs, the bold new colours and ongoing pride really is setting a blazing new path for us heading into the 2022-2023 season. #findit #ownit #letsdo this

Finally, for those who missed out or need more kit to satisfy their kit envy, the Summer '23 edition will be available shortly!

Let's do This, 

Alli

A shout out to Tim who is Erin's support crew as well as pacer over the last 20kms. You guys truly are so inspiring.
