🎉 EXCITING NEWS TO WRAP UP OUR 8-WEEK CHALLENGE! 🎉
We’ve loved following your progress on Strava, hearing your stories and watching the hard work pay off. A huge well done to everyone who joined us for some—or all—of the sessions. We hope you enjoyed the challenge, built confidence and discovered a little more about what you’re capable of.

Now it’s time to put that training to the test! Take it easy at the start of the week, then join us for one—or more—of these fast 5km opportunities:

🏃 Wednesday 23 September | 6:10am
📍 MARC, 193 Boundary Road, Ooralea
Run a fast five on the track after our regular Wednesday session. Join the full training session from 5:15am, or arrive later and be ready for the 5km start at 6:10am.

🌿 Thursday 24 September | 5:30pm
📍 On The Run, 196 Nebo Road, Mackay
Join our weekly 5-30 Runners group and push the pace over 5km through the beautiful Botanic Gardens.

⏱️ Saturday 26 September | 7:00am
📍 Seaview parkrun, Bucasia
It’s pacer week at Seaview parkrun, so get amongst the action and chase your best 5km with help from the experienced pacers. Other parkruns are available - can’t make it to Seaview? You can still have a crack at your local parkrun.

Choose the option that suits you, bring your running shoes and give it your best shot. Whether you’re chasing a PB or simply want to see how far you’ve come, this is your chance to celebrate eight weeks of consistent effort.

Let’s finish the challenge fast—and have some fun doing it! 💨👏

🏃‍♀️ EXTRA THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK SESSIONS 🏃‍♂️

Looking for an extra opportunity to improve your running, build speed and have some fun? On The Run is teaming up with Fitstop Mackay for a series of fast-paced interval sessions in preparation for HYROX Melbourne.

📅 Thursday evenings — 8 October to 3 December 2026
⏰ 6:30pm
📍 Mackay Aquatic and Recreation Complex (MARC)
193 Boundary Road, Ooralea

Across these sessions, we’ll share practical tips on running technique while using short, sharp intervals to improve your speed, efficiency and confidence. Our tried-and-tested sessions will encourage you to step outside your comfort zone—but you’ll be supported by accredited coaches and have plenty of fun along the way!

While HYROX Melbourne may be the inspiration, these are community sessions open to everyone. You don’t need to be a Fitstop member, you don’t need to be training for HYROX, and you certainly don’t need to be the fastest runner at the track.

Simply grab your running shoes, bring a few mates and come along for an action-packed evening. All running abilities are welcome!

💲 Cost: FREE - Thanks to our friends at Rhode Athletic
⏳ Session length: 45–60 minutes

What to bring:

💧 Water
🧻 A sweat towel
😊 A smile
👯 A friend—optional, because you’ll soon make some new ones!

Come and run with us, challenge yourself and discover what you’re capable of. We’ll see you at the track!
