A healthy community becomes a happy community
  
The club hosts an annual Beginner's Program that is conducted by our Head Coach, Colleen Gunn.

To enter

Especially for the Mums

Have you nails painted for a gold coin donation
on the morning for a bit of extra pampering!

Social Atmosphere

We encourage all participants NOT to use headsets/I pods etc during the walk/run as we'd prefer that everyone is able to listen to instructions that may be given by the SES and GGG volunteers during the event to ensure your safety.
 
Plus rather than listening to music - enjoy the company and atmosphere of the community about you!
