Next week’s run is at Longreach Rd on May 3rd. Then the following week we invite members to come and run Husky Park Run in club uniform to promote our Club and encourage new members. If you’d like to run park run you will be awarded points for running but we need you to hang around to hand out flyers and speak with interested runners. Cross country will still take place Saturday afternoon at our Huskisson course at the normal time for anyone who still wants to run cross country.
