🏃 We’re off to Queenstown and training is still on in Mackay!

⚡ Wednesday 11 November | 5:15am | Track with Michael Vella
Michael is swapping his parkrun hat for a starring role at the track. His mission? Make you fast and, hopefully, keep the furious to a minimum. 😉
📍 Mackay Aquatic & Recreational Complex (MARC), 193 Boundary Road, Ooralea

⛰️ Thursday 12 November | 5:15am | Hills with Bronwyn Overall (Caa Caa)
Bronwyn will put the Blacks Beach hills to good use and help you build a little extra strength in those legs.

👟 Thursday 12 November | 6:30pm | Track with Kylie Anderson
Kylie from Untapped Exercise Physiology is bringing her own spin to our Thursday night speed session. Come along and give it a go!
