2026 is all systems go!! We’ve enjoyed the break, but now it’s time to get running and walking like we mean it 
We have updated our calendar. You can always find it on our site at https://www.asrwc.com.au/

On Sunday, we have Welcome Back Mparntwe 2.5/5km Fun Run/Walk to kick off our 2026 season launch. There will be timing for members, in which you will have your amazing new bib to wear. You can register when you get there, but before that is always preferable 
We’ll have some Thommo’s treats, those delicious electrolyte icy poles, fruit and of course chips and lollies too!!

Tuesdays..Are Track Tuesdays at head street oval!! (Rhonda Diano Oval, Braitling. We’re starting up again on the 3rd of February at 6 am. If all goes to plan, it will be in the early 20’s and Katie we’ll be leading a fun pyramid session (this is time-based, so go at your own pace!!) with her trusty whistle. You can follow along, or of course, do your own thing. It’s just always fun with good company.
Training on Trails starts again on the 8th Feb and we’re starting where it all begins for the WMM 25k participants.. Simpsons Gap!! The aim is to conquer Hat Hill, now do not think you have to run your way up there, go at your own pace, but move with purpose.You want to have a good level of fitness to take this on, it is a long moderate hill that will get you puffed out. Bring at least 500ml of water, head torch and a snakebite bandage. And again, if you just want to go on your own adventure but start in some good company, that's cool, if you want to do it again because you need some extra hills in the legs, that cool too :)
There will be a long run/hike planned most Sundays in the lead up, details will be on socials and Strava, if you’re not on either, please reach out and i can send the details through
