Here is a message from our President Peter Thomson:
Canberra Times Fun Run 10 November
Thanks to all the people who have volunteered or will be pacers at the Canberra Times Fun Run (CTFR). All up we have over 60 people helping out at the Fun Run. The Club relies on people volunteering and I am really pleased we have been able to fill all the volunteer roles.
Best of luck to the people in the Club’s CTFR Training Group – may you all finish with a smile!
I like to encourage all people who are running in the CTFR to wear Club singlets or shirts. To assist this, we are clearing our current stock of the Club shirts and singlets for only $10!
Committee matters
Congratulations to Paul Mahoney who was formally appointed by the Club Committee as Chair of the 2020 Capital to Coast Sub-Committee and also appointed as the Race Director for the 2020 Race Director.
We are seeking someone to Chair the 2020 Half Marathon sub-committee and to be the Race Director for the 2020 Half Marathon. If you are interested in either or both of these roles please contact me.
Jo Legge-Wilkinson has been doing some great work on merchandise and the plan is that there will be new club shirts with an updated club design available in the next few months.
Competition
The monthly Jogalong is on this Sunday in Weston Park starting at 9am. There is a 1.6km for young children and a 3km and 6km for older females.
