KXTC Dispatch 04
KX Trail is launching with the first run on Saturday morning the 20th of August.
The intention of this initiative is to introduce trail running to the existing KXTC community, and nuture a new KX Trail community to coexist alongside. It will involve a guided monthly trail run, KX Trail specific merch, and special events - all supported by Arc’teryx Australia. This will be open to everyone, first timers to experienced trail runners. We’ll keep it chill, welcoming and inclusive. So if you’ve never run trail before, come join us.
More info about the run, transport and what to bring to be posted on socials very soon.
City2Surf
One of our biggest races of the year, the City2Surf, is coming up on Sunday the 14th of August. This is a great day to experience the iconic race, then celebrate together with some big vibes post race.
After the run: walk over to the Beach Road Hotel
Melbourne Marathon - Save the date - 29 SEP to 03 OCT
We’re collaborating with AM:PM.RC from Melbourne and Grave Runners from Auckland to create a whole weekend around the Melbourne Marathon. This will unite people from the running community in Australia and New Zealand. This will centre around a hub: a space to roll out, eat, drink, watch, learn, participate and enjoy.
Race options: 10km, Half Mara (recommended), or Full Marathon.
Bonus: It is on the first weekend of October, with Monday being the Labour Day public holiday, so we can celebrate post race on Sunday.
To do: Book out the whole weekend and come back on Monday. e.g. Thursday 29th Sep to Monday 3rd Oct. We’ll be coordinating group accom.
More details to follow.
