Treadmill Relay Challenge

Australians are suffering through the worst fire devastation our country has ever seen and everyone is doing their small bit to raise much-needed funds to help those who desperately need it.

I have been deeply saddened to see it all unfold over the past few months and have decided to make my own contribution. I am sending out an invitation to the massive GC running community to join me and good friend, Australian Marathon Champion, Benita Willis, in the Bushfire Relief Treadmill Relay Challenge.

The Treadmill Relay Challenge will run for 4hr 21min 95sec, signifying the 42.195km distance covered for a marathon. The event will be kindly hosted by the Robina Town Centre and assisted by a number of amazing local businesses who are donating their time and resources to the event.

You and your running squad, work mates, gym mates, or family, can come down, watch and support the runners and most importantly, donate to either the Australian Red Cross or WIRES (or why not both?) and help raise money to reach those families and animals to help them get back into their new homes.

Whether you’re Team Shelley or Team Willis – it doesn’t matter, it’s all being done for a great cause.

Come down and join local businesses, local celebrities buy some raffle tickets to win some amazing prizes, kindly donated from local businesses or make a donation.

• When: Thursday, 30th January 2020

• Time: Start run 3.00pm – Finish run 6.52.35pm (4hr 21min 95 sec duration)
