👊🏃♀️✨
Tell the truth — this is the one we’ve all been waiting for since the 17th of May right? 😏
THE PARENTS RACE 🏃♂️🏃♀️
And wow… race they did.
No holding back, no easing into it — these parents came READY.
(Or maybe some got stitched up by the kids or friends 🫣 at the last minute 😉)
Either way, they showed the kids exactly how it’s done ✔️🔥
Enjoy the race and make sure you tag your mates — everyone needs to witness this level of 😎
🏃♀️🏃♂️ Our U14–U17 Cross Country legends took on the 3km short course and left it all out on the track! 💪
It might look harmless at the start, but trust us — this course is tougher than it looks. The hills, the turns, and the terrain and hay bales tested every ounce of energy they had.
But as always, our athletes proved they were even tougher. 🔥👏
Next up… let’s see how our parents handled just a third of the distance. 😉😂
This one was worth the wait, right? 🤩🏃♀️🏃♂️
Our U12 and U13 Cross Country superstars hit the course at Knox Park last Sunday, digging deep when the going got tough. But we all know this crew is tougher still! 💪🔥
Enjoy this race recap, brought to you by Phil, Bianca and Jason’s drone 🤭🚁
Up next, our U14-U17 athletes take on the course, followed by the race everyone’s been waiting for… the brilliant Parents Race! 👀🏃♀️🏃♂️
