We are back 'East' after our trip to Western Australia! We are sorry we missed the last afternoon of the season.
Thank you all for your support this year, fine weather except we hear for the last afternoon!
To all the parents, runners and other people who helped out throughout the season - go our sincere thanks.
We look forward to seeing you all back again in March 2027 and good running in the meantime. šŸŒ»

Well this Saturday 13 June is our last cross country meet for 2026. All runners on Saturday will receive a free sausage sizzle at 7th Brigade Park.
Thank you for your support throughout the Season - and for a change the weather treated us well, with not many muddy legs and shoes!

Brrrrr! This weather will help acclimatise runners who are competing in Toowoomba next month at Highfields for the States! One person I know calls the Garden City the ā€˜Fridge on the Ridgeā€™ and after the last couple of days I somewhat agree!

Tomorrow we are back at Huxtable Park so letā€™s see where they set the course this time. See you there. šŸŒ¬ļø

Before you wonder, this photo was prior to photoshop - actually 1969. One of the people in this article regularly is in attendance at our afternoons!

We are a really small team that set up the Queensland Running events. Those you see are Andrew, Angie, Anne, Peter, Phil and Steve but there is one person who volunteers behind the scenes and organises our website, designs the process that makes entering on-line so simple - this person is Jacob! We are ever so grateful for the time and effort he contributes to Queensland Running - thank you so much Jacob. šŸŒ»

This Saturday we are at the Newman Road end of 7th Brigade Park and hopefully this fine, but cloudy and windy Friday will dry out the course somewhat. See you tomorrow.

Following the heavy rainfall last week and the bottom section of the floodway being extremely wet for our Huxtable Park meet, the ā€˜three amigosā€™ decided to try and give runners a course that avoided having to wear flippers up towards the Webster Road roundabout! They spent some time yesterday morning looking at an alternative and would like some feedback from yesterdayā€™s runners as to what they thought about the change. Please send us a message.
I do apologise to our younger runners, who I imagine do not have access to Facebook. Would parents like to ask their children what they thought about it. Olivia F. liked it, any other thoughts from our school-aged athletes.

Back to Huxtable Park at Chermside West, with its ā€˜gentleā€™ hill this Saturday. Something in this park for everyone, even a half court basketball space; plenty of wildlife; and a playground close by for the little ones. See you there tomorrow.

Tomorrow our running is at 7th Brigade Park. Just to let new runners know, we are at the Newman Road and Delaware Street end of the park, NOT at Kidā€™s Space on Murphy Road.

As much as we complain about the rainy weather, three of our lady runners last week at Teralba discovered they would be in the Blue Mountains for the Ultra-Trail event this weekend. Brrrhh! Hope it is a great experience for you.

The concept of Queensland Running was conceived by a group of five people back in 1999 and on Friday last we farewelled one of the five, Gerry Schrama, a stalwart of Jimboomba Athletics Club. Gerry was a familiar and encouraging face to our early runners as a course marshall. He retired to Hervey Bay in 2015 but every so often arrived at one of our race meets. After a long battle with lll health, he passed away peacefully on the 24th April. He was 82 years of age. His legacy will long be remembered.

Teralba Park tomorrow! We set up near the Ninja Fitness area at the Teralba Street end of the park. First race is the 800m at 2.00p.m.

We trust you enjoyed your district carnivals throughout the week.
