TRAQ - promoting our sport

Trail Running Association of Queensland.
The association's aim is to promote trail running for fun, fitness and as a sport. The committee uses membership monies raised to hold events, training sessions and to keep members informed of happenings in the world of trail running.

Glasshouse Training Runs

There are some people who may wish to do training runs in the Glasshouse Mountains to prepare for events such as Cook's Tour , Flinder's Tour or Glasshouse 100. If they intend doing so and know the trails then they may wish for some company. Contact Ian Javes - ijaves@caloundra.net or mobile 0407 045 785 and give details which can then be posted on the website.

If they do not know the trails but would like to do training runs then keep an eye out for these listings or contact Ian Javes.

Upcoming Training Runs

There are two runs planned leading into the GH 100 this year.

One on the weekend of August 13th/14th, the second 27th/28th (two weeks out).

The first run will be an early morning outing and will cover the area out and back from Beerburrum, probably to CP5 before heading back to Beerburrum.

The latter will be a night-time run and will almost certainly include the Mt Beerwah loop from the lookout before heading to Beerburrum School. This run will likely start at the lookout and thus provide the option to stop there. Those that wish to carry on will need to look at transport either to the lookout in the first place or back to the lookout to collect vehicles. Dependent on numbers this should present no problem (we've managed it in the past).
