Thank-you for carpooling as parking was not a problem on the day.

Due to limited parking  spaces available car pooling is essential for the Pinnacles Classic. The event is sold out and three runners per car is needed otherwise parking will fill and you’ll be turned back. TRAQ has emailed each entrant for confirmation of  their car pooling numbers but thus far have received limited feedback.  Please email info@runtrails.org with numbers. Car pooling will likely be from Brookfield.  Your efforts in this matter is much appreciated.

Traq members are welcomed to attend the Traq committee meeting on Tuesday 20th March  at The Run Inn, 452 Enoggera Rd, Alderley.  Start time 6.30pm to 8.00pm. Please contact us by Monday 19th March if you are attending email info@runtrails.org or Ian Javes on mobile: 0407 045 785.

I don’t have too much to say this time, because this event was everything I’ve wanted to offer in a trail race finally happening. A scenic course, great start and finish, atmosphere, and runners who clearly enjoyed it. The good weather was a nice bonus too, after the last week two!

TRAQ 2012 event summary and dates (updated 22/12/11)

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.
