Message from YCRC President Geoff Sims:
Dear member / running friend
The YMCA of Canberra Runners Club is proud to have conducted its first Women and Girls Fun Run on the past weekend and now looks to complete its second, even bigger challenge of this month.
The club is still in need of volunteers to help stage the inaugural Australian Running Festival on next weekend, 9 and 10 April. Saturday fun run events have enough volunteers already, but we have an urgent need for more helpers on Sunday morning, for the marathon, half marathon and ultra-marathon events. Thank you if you have already volunteered. And please excuse us if you receive more than one copy of this note.
You would be assisting the new YMCA of Canberra Runners Club to ensure continuation of the tradition of an April marathon event in Canberra. The Club is associated with Fairfax Events, who have attracted large numbers of competitors to the Australian Running Festival. It promises to be a great running festival, but needs our help to achieve this.
All volunteers will have a chance to win a pair of Mizuno running shoes – we have two pairs to be won in a random draw on Sunday.
So if you can make the time available on Sunday morning 10 April, please complete the online volunteer registration as soon as you can at http://www.canberrarunner.com.au/index.php?module=Special&action=volunteer.
Thanks
Geoff Sims
President
YMCA of Canberra Runners Club.
