Sunshine Coast Marathon
PLC will once again register a team to compete at the upcoming Sunshine Coast Marathon on Sunday 13th August 2023. This will be the culminating event for students who have attended Run Club. We would also like to encourage any other interested students to join us by entering if they are keen runners. There are a range of distances available on the day: 2km, 5km, 10km and 21.1km (age dependent).
Mrs Kiernan has set up a team for the event, please search for “PLC Run Club 2023”. When entering your child please select this team and you will receive a 10% discount off your entry price. Parents are more than welcome to enter and run as part of this team as well.
On the day, PLC will have a tent set up where we can meet, and some refreshments will be provided for students after the race.
It would be great to see as many of you as possible come along and join in on the day.
