Mackay Road Runners bid farewell to the final social run of 2024, attended by a small group of dedicated enthusiasts who braved the 36-degree heat on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
While the love for running in such oppressive conditions may be debatable, the runners and walkers persevered through sweltering humidity. The icy cold Zooper Dooper rewards at the finish line, courtesy of Luke and Lily, were a welcome relief.
Paul MacKenzie claimed the unofficial record for consuming the most Zooper Doopers, narrowly edging out Carmel Mahon for the top spot. Hydration was a key focus for all participants, with Jo Hughes quickly handing out treats to the grateful runners.
Special thanks go to Andrew Short for serving as Race Director during the December social schedule. Looking ahead, Shawn's Summer Series Splash and Dash is set to recommence this Sunday, 5th January, from the ARC.
The Mackay Road Runners wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you at the next event!
