This weekend & City to South

BRS Style!!


This weekend we are having our second BRS Camp ever! Trail Running through the moutains of Binna Burra!!

Our 20 Runners have their itinerary, essentials checklist, and maps of what to expect!. it is going to be chilly but that will add to the rainforest vibe!!

I can't wait to fuel up with breaky and dinner at the Binna Burra Lodge, yummy scones for a morning tea carb hit, a most fabulous cheese and fruit platter to wind down in the afternoon, and admiring the view in the Tea House as we debrief our loooooooong runs over lunch!!

OK, its not all about the food, but it is definitely something to look forward to!

After the rain we may have some slippery tracks to deal with....all the more fun!

We can't wait to share some photos with you of the weekend's adventures!!
