So maybe you're wondering what racing you can do in September? Our last duathlon of the 2010 Winter series is coming up this weekend, and the first club Triathlon for the 2010/11 season isn't on till October. What to do?? WELL, here's a couple of events staged over the weekend of 25th & 26th September to keep the body on the move....
Saturday 25th September 2010: Blackheart Events is putting on a sprint distance Adventure Race here in Port Macquarie. Website link is here: http://www.blackheartevents.com.au/ . This will be a great opportunity to experience some "off-road" racing for those who haven't tried before.
2-person Male, Female or Mixed Team entries are still open till the 20th September for the event. Kayaks are supplied, and if you need to you can even hire mountain bikes from the organisers if you get in early enough. Course to be advised closer to the date.
Now, for those of you that need a way to loosen the legs the following day, or just want to have a bit of fun in support of a great cause:
Sunday 26th September 2010: Port Macquarie Triathlon Club is hosting a 5km Fun Run & 2.5 Fun Jog/Walk in support of Alzheimers Australia. Click here to view flyer. The run is scheduled to coincide with Dementia Awareness Week, with all proceeds (and any donations) going to the local support group.
The playground at Westport Park is the staging area. The Run will start at 8am, with the jog/walk starting shortly after. Registration is simply "on the day" from 7:00am. $10 entry for the 5km, and $5 entry for the 2.5km. Any other donations will be greatly accepted.
Fruit and refreshments will be available for competitors after the race. The Lions Club will also be running a sausage sizzle after the event.
