The Shepparton  Runners Club would like to wish all its members, families and sponsors a happy Christmas and a safe new year.

 Healthy communities

On Sunday, March 4 the Shepparton Runners Club will be involved in the Stadium Showcase event. Our club will get the opportunity to run on the Shepparton synthetic athletic track. The following is a copy of an email the club received from the healthy community officer at Aquamoves.

Great news that the club wants to get involved in the Stadium Showcase event.

The event will showcase the Stadium and the facilities it has on offer.

The community will be invited to come along and try their hand at basketball, badminton, table tennis, netball, group fitness sessions for older adults and now the running sessions.

The showcase will run from 11am – 1pm and you will be able to run your running session from the track during this time.

We will send through more information close to the time.

Thanks

Gold rush trail run

On Saturday, Sam and I tackled the gold rush trail run (along with 250 odd other people), starting in Daylesford and climbing up past the stunning sailors falls along the goldfields track, finishing at the Sailors Falls Estate. It was an amazing amount of fun, with an extra 2ish km chucked onto the end (total 13km ish) for free due to a parks Victoria issue. The course was stunning, with some single track, logs to climb and puddles to avoid. Not a single snake was seen and the exceptional weather made for a great day.  As with all these things you learn a number of lessons, the key lessons learnt this time was make sure your pants are on the right way and embrace the hills (especially when the whole course is hills!!!)
