FESTIVE SEASON MESSAGE TO OUR RUNNING FAMILY
 

Dear Team,

As we lace up for the final stretch of 2025, we want to wish every one of you a joyful, peaceful, and blessed festive season

Thank you for the early mornings, the tough hill sessions, the sweaty smiles, the finish-line celebrations, and the unwavering support you’ve shown one another throughout the year. Our club isn’t just a group of runners — it’s a community, a family, and a home for anyone who loves the road, the trails, and the journey.

This festive season, may you find rest when you need it, adventure when you crave it, and joy in every step — whether you’re running, relaxing, or recharging for the year ahead.

Here’s to strong legs, strong hearts, and an even stronger 2026 together! 

Stay safe, stay active, and stay proud of every km you’ve logged.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
