RSR Coaching: June Recap! 🏃♂️
Better late than never! While Coach Sarah has been navigating a recent physical health crisis, I couldn't let June pass without celebrating our incredible community's massive achievements!
From celebrating Global Running Day to braving the elements for our annual Winter Solstice Glow Stick Runs, June was packed with energy, grit, and good times.
Here is a look back at what our runners got up to:
🏆 Race Highlights & Heroic Effort
A Run for the Ages - Australia (ARFTAA): Shoutout to Tom & Louise for giving it a solid crack over the WA Day long weekend, along with community friends Morgan & Roy! *(wearing suitable attire)
PTS Jolly Jumbuck & Snakes & Ladders: Great efforts by Julia, Richard, and Tom (volunteering!). Julia brought her iconic style to Snakes & Ladders as always!
Cape2Cape (Ultra Series WA): Classic blustering Down South conditions! Huge congrats to BK and to Nancy for taking out 1st place on the women’s podium! 🥇
