Lots of old favourites joined us for RR222! 🎉

We had the Concord Tri crew bringing the energy, along with the return of "almost OG" Abdul. It was fantastic to have you back.

A warm welcome also to Stephanie, Leo and Eli for their first-ever night-time RR cruise. Great to have you along!

⚽🏆 While I have your attention...

Our legendary RR Andi is running a Rhodes Runners World Cup Tipping Competition!

The World Cup is here, and it's time to find out who the true football mastermind of Rhodes Runners is. This time we're ditching the clunky spreadsheets and upgrading to a proper 21st-century tipping experience.

To keep the banter flowing and make every match count, we're throwing $20 each into the prize pool:

🥇 1st Place: $120*
🥈 2nd Place: $40*
🥉 3rd Place ("Bronzy"): $20*

*Prize pool will grow if more people join.

💵 Entry: Transfer $20 via PayID to Andi on 0431 176 187.

As an added bonus, he also accepts coffee.

📜 Quick Rules
• Group Stage: Exact score = 6 pts | Correct result = 3 pts | Wrong result = 0 pts
• Knockout Stage: Exact score = 14 pts | Correct result = 7 pts
• Extra-time scores count
• Penalty shootouts do not

(There are a few more rules, but I've been instructed to keep this post crispy 🫪.)

See Andi if you're keen to join but you've got 1 day to get your name on the ballot!

Happy Global Running Day everyone! It's no coincidence that such a special occasion falls on a RR night in the first week of every June 😉 Thank you to all our regular crew for running with us and welcome to the new faces that have joined! We're so happy to have you all onboard and hope you'll enjoy many more runs with us! 💫

In other news, I often encourage runners to visit Rhodes parkrun, and just last week it was formally recognised in the House of Representatives, with each of the run directors praised by name on the official Federal Parliament record 🤩 Part of that team also make up the RR committee and its long standing members: Declan, Lorraine, Deborah, and myself, so we thank you and our wonderful community for making Saturday mornings the best part of the weekend ☺️

It was our last run of Autumn! 🍂 Debbie made her annual appearance at RR and it was an occasion to celebrate. So great to have her back with us and we look forward to seeing her again next year! 🤣

Speaking of annual celebrations, join us this Saturday 30 May for the special octogenarian event at Rhodes parkrun 🎊 They won't just be running it, they're making the whole thing happen! All the current Rhodes Run Directors will be in attendance to show their support, so it will be an occasion worth writing home about 🥹

Lastly, a big shout out to Jonnie who turned up with Hydralites to ensure our runners were cool and hydrated 💦

See you at Rhodes Parkrun or at Wentworth Common parkrun 👋

What a magnificent weekend for our runners! Well done to all our UTA champions, in a massive undertaking like no other in the beautiful Blue Mountains! ⛰️ We'd like to congratulate Harrison, Jason, Jonathan L, Debbie, Jinwoo, Paul, Shovan, Grace, David B and Truc on their tremendous display of strength and endurance 💪

We can't wait to hear all about your experiences, but until then, please rest up and recover well ☺️

A bit closer to home on Sunday was the Sydney10! Our runners waved goodbye to their old PB's and welcomed new ones in one of Sydney's favourite racing events. Let's goooo! 🚀

Hope to see you at Rhodes parkrun/ Wentworth Common parkrun besties 👋

It was a wet and chilly evening, but our runners laced up and showed up! 🫡 How amazing you are! 🥹

Coming up this weekend is the behemoth of trail races, the almighty Ultra-Trail Australia By UTMB! Our crew have been training long and hard for this, with some even utilising regional marathons as humble training runs to help get their mileage and stamina up for this event 🤯 Run strong and finish safe everyone 🙏

On Sunday, we have the Sydney10. One of our favourite local races of the year and we're expecting a star-studded line up of heroes from local run clubs and all across Sydney 🫶

We hope to see you at one of these events, otherwise at Rhodes parkrun/ Wentworth Common parkrun 👋

We were taken back to the good old days this week as we were joined by RR OG superstars Grace Qiu and Jinwoo Ahn 🥹 Grace is visiting from Hong Kong, and Jinwoo just landed from Korea to get ready to take on UTA100 next week. It's great to have both legends back us! 💪

If you're stuck for ideas on where to take your mum this Sunday, Yochi is offering free Yochi if you reach 25k steps by 2pm, otherwise buy-1-get-1-free for 10k steps. So get mum running (or walking) 😂

Good luck for taper week to everyone who's running at UTA next week. Stay safe, train smart, and we can't wait to cheer for you 📣

Remember, you're not just a Rhodes Runner, you're a Rhodes STUNNER 🤩

Hope to see you at Rhodes parkrun/ Wentworth Common parkrun 👋

🏃‍♂️ Rhodes Runners #216 🏃‍♀️ PBs, Majors, and Bdays 💥

It was a fantastic long weekend as David Kinnane ran his very first marathon in his hometown of Ballarat. He set an absolutely blistering PB, but it wasn't the only PB that day 🥹 Our dear friend Farhan, travelled 11hrs by train to surprise David at the home stretch, and ran a portion of the marathon to es**rt him to the finish line 🫶 If that's not friendship, I honestly don't know what is. Massive congratulations David, and thank you for being you, Farhan!

Viraj Mitra also ran at supersonic speeds to lock in a stellar PB at London Marathon. The smile on his face says it all! 😆

Coming up this Sunday is the Hoka Half. Good luck to all our crew and friends who are competing! 💪

Hope to see you at almighty Rhodes parkrun this Saturday as Debbie and I lead its 11th birthday 🎂🥳 It'll be a great shakeout run for Hoka 😉

🏃‍♂️ Rhodes Runners #215 🏃‍♀️ Race Mania 💥

WOW, what a week! We could barely keep up with the amount of races our crew competed in! 😵‍💫

Alan Sun, Farhan, Jason Lin, Jon C and Nick triumphed in Wollongong marathon. Bjorn Tandean blitzed the half marathon, and Jullie and Amber smoked the 10km. PB's and smiles were aplenty! 💪

Debbie gave the Backyard Ultra a run for its money and we are so proud! 👏

Fearless Geordie Owen ran strong at Boston Marathon and did not miss a beat! 🔥

Wentworth Common parkrun will finally reopen post Easter Show (where I will be run director and host a very special Anzac Day event), so see you there or at Rhodes parkrun 🫶

Lastly, Viraj Mitra and Morgan are taking on London Marathon on Sunday 26 April. You've got this guys! ✊️

Have a safe and happy Anzac Day long weekend everyone! Lest we forget 🕊

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Rhodes Runners #214 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ Icy Pops and Dyson 💙💙

Great vibes tonight crew🔥

We had Bec and Macca (Hobart Mara) and Amit (10K Canberra) flying the flag, while the boys, Alan, Viraj, and Nick are dialling in for their big events over the next week or two 👊

Our good friend Peter Johnston is extending a well deserved break in South Africa after his Two Oceans Ultra last weekend, nabbing a time of 6hrs 08mins for a 56km effort. JUST. WOW. 👏

No pressure to the crew will heading down to Wollongong to tackle the Marathon / Half Mara and 10K races. Good luck all 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👊

Or indeed Geordie Owen making his annual pilgrimage to Boston Marathon that is on Patriots Day in the USA 🇺🇸🦅... I'm not sure if 42Kms will be enough for Geordie though 🤔

Nancy is back and absolutely did the Geordie roar justice 💪💪💪 and, as always, plenty of laughs, good energy… and a well-earned round of ice pops to top it off @ Dyson. No wonder we seem to have so many more RRs at the top of Dyson... its the icy pop incentive!!!

Many more updates to follow in the coming weeks 😊

See you all at Rhodes parkrun or wherever you may be touristing!!!
