why participate in a race?


There is nothing as pure as the experience of a race -

it is as simple as shoes, shorts, shirt, A start, A finish - that's it!

Oh! ...it may also be about -
the training journey, the anticipation of the challenge, the pre-race nerves,

the personal effort,

running along side other runners, smiling at the race volunteers,

the exhiliration as you cross the finish line,

sharing an experience with others,

its about feeling joy, happiness and personal accomplishment.

Well done! To all who made the goal/committment this year and followed through with the necessary training.

Respecting the distance and applying the appropriate training, it aims to deliver a runner to the start line in good shape and confident within oneself.

Congratulations to those who have enjoyed the experience so far this year.

Next race on our agenda is the Brisbane Marathon with GGG's participating in the 10k, 1/2 marathon and Marathon on Aug 23.
