TRAQ’s AGM at Bunya Sports – Sat 25 Feb 1-3pm
As a non-profit group we need our members there to officially sign off on last year’s finances and appoint this year’s committe. Its a good time to catch up, to ask questions about new events, to join the committee if you’re keen enough, or just join us for a social run after. The Bunya Sports Centre is at the corner of Collins Road and Jinker Track – start time is 1pm and finish at 3pm on Saturday 25th February. If you’re interested in standing for committee, please speak to any of the current committee and fill out a nomination form beforehand. TRAQ AGM 2012 Nomination Form

Add your comment hereThe Wild Horse Criterium April 8 – 2012
The third running of the Salomon Wild Horse Criterium at the Glasshouse Mountains will take place on Easter Sunday, April 8th 2012.
Events
60km solo – 5 laps
36km solo – 3 laps
12km solo – 1 lap
There’s a new course this year, a little longer than the course used in 2011 (close to 12 km**). The added distance is offset by improved conditions underfoot and bypassing some stretches that have suffered deterioration from the elements.
The outline of the course itself will not differ greatly from last years, and the currently publish route will give you a good idea of the locality.

TRAQ 2012 event summary and dates (updated 22/12/11)
Fats Festive Fatass – Brisbane Forest Park 27 Dec
A chance to run off those extra Christmas calories! Join the now traditional but totally disorganised Fats Festive Fatass, a fixture in the calendar for hardened trail runners. Starting from Payne’s Road you can go all the way to Mt Nebo and get a lift back, or double-up and return. There’s always time to linger over coffee or iceblocks at the tiny Mt Nebo cafe, depending on the weather.
This year’s date is Tuesday 27 December, starting at 5.30am.
