Hey All,
As mentioned in Rundown and on FB, this coming Sunday is the first of two opportunities to run the C2S course in lead up to the 2015 event. This is an open invite to any members who for example may not have the course before, or those who are well-acquainted with route, but are trying to hit a goal time! We are unable to exactly simulate what is the largest fun run in the World, as we don’t know 70-80,000 odd people, but we can help with our experience of the course and in your preparation!
With it being racing season, planning dates for this do coincide with some races, and am sorry if you have signed up for races on that day and wanted to may be do the trip from the City to Bondi! This is a great opportunity to not only get onto the course, but also how to get to the start and the best way to attack the course. So –
