The run, which starts at Rainbow Bay SLSC, takes in 15 stops in total on a northern journey to the finish point at Kurrawa SLSC.

Date: Friday 30th Dec

Start time: 0930

Finish time: 1700 (estimated)

"I’m a pretty shit-hot runner…"

- Guy at Mermaid Beach SLSC within the first 30 seconds of talking with Timmy O.

And the fun begins! A long day with a few surprises but essentially a day that reflected why we all love to run - because human beings are drawn to a cause! We feel something when we work as a group to achieve something and when we move together a common bond is formed. Well done to all those who conquered R2R 2011. I loved every minute and look forward to achieving big things in 2012 with you all!!! Chris.
