MCKINLAY 5KM FUN RUN

Townsville Running Festival

Nicci Vardy completes the half marathon in a personal best time.

With the support of her number one fan Nicci finished the half marathon in a time of 2 hours 16 minutes. There were 477 runners in this event

Almost finished and still smiling!

Done and dusted - that challenge has been successfully met! - Nicci with her number ONE Fan and sponsors product to help with rehydration!

Peter Wilson chose an easier option and ran in the 10km event and was placed 113 out of 693 runners.

Next year lets see if we can get a group of runners from the 'Creek' to compete! It is a terrific race that catered for 2700 runners over the 4 events (Marathon, 1/2 Marathon, 10km & 5km) in 2013!

 

JOIN THE LEGACY CHARITY & JULIA CREEK BRANCH OF THE QCWA ON THE LEGACY WALK

Meet at the QCWA Hall @ 7am – Saturday August 3^rd and support this worthy cause

GOOD LUCK NICCI!

Many of us were planning to enter the Townsville Running Festival, and many things have stopped us from realising our ambition to compete in this event.

However it’s great to see Nicci Vardy is going to fly the Flag for JC & JCTC! We all wish Nicci the best as she runs the half marathon. What a legend!

 

Don’t forget the McKinlay 5km Fun Run – August 18^th



ENJOY YOUR WORKOUTS THIS WEEKEND

Tour de Creek

Last Sunday was bright and breezy in Julia Creek and an intrepid bunch of Tri Club Members participated in a mystery bike ride – ‘Tour de Creek’. The club members were divided into two teams and followed a set of clues which saw them ride to seven destinations within a 5km radius of Julia Creek.  Approximately an hour and a half after setting out all riders returned rather windblown but happy with their workout.

It was great to see young Molly (grade 3) and Georgie (Grade 1) Vardy enter the event. Justin, Molly and Georgie’s Dad towed a bike pram with his two youngest daughters inside, it was like a parachute when cycle into the wind! We were assured that he was delighted about this situation.

Kate Walker drove (almost 2 hours) from Crowfels Station to participate, what an awesome effort!

The next club event is the McKinlay 5km Fun Run on Sunday the 18^th of August. This event will be held in McKinlay, more details will be sent out to club members a week or so before the event.
