🐨💙 KOALA TUESDAY — THE END OF AN ERA, BUT NOT THE END OF THE RUNS! 💙🐨This morning marked a very special occasion, as Leanne and I joined the team for our final TRAQ Koala Tuesday run.Firstly, a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has come along over the years, and a very special shout-out to all our regulars who have made Tuesday mornings the best start to any day we could ever have hoped for.What started as a run has become so much more. It’s been about the people, the laughs, the hills, the single track, the regular koala sighting, and most importantly, the friendships formed and forged over many, many years.Rain, heat, humidity, early starts and plenty of kilometres later, it’s the people who have made these mornings so special. ❤️But don’t worry, Koala Tuesday isn’t going anywhere! 🐨The runs will continue under the guidance of the current TRAQ crew, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to come along. The same rules still apply: we run together, we regroup regularly, and nobody gets left behind.Although, if Ginny is leading, a few wrong turns are pretty much guaranteed! 😂 But don’t worry, you’ll always find your way back safely.For Leanne and me, this isn’t a goodbye. It’s simply a “come and visit us in Bright!” 🏔️We’ll be keeping an eye on the trails down there, and once we’re settled, keep an eye out for our trail running camps. We can’t wait to share some of the amazing trails and experiences that await.Finally, a huge thank you to TRAQ for indulging me over the years and allowing me to establish both the Koala Tuesday runs and the TRAQ Summer Series.Both have become special parts of our trail running community, and I hope they continue to grow and live on for many years to come.To everyone who has turned up, brought a friend, shared a laugh, helped someone up a hill or simply made a Tuesday morning that little bit better — thank you.You’ve made this about so much more than running, and that’s something Leanne and I will always cherish.So, one last time from us…Same place, same pace, nobody left behind! 🐨💙Thanks, team. It’s been an absolute privilege.Now, who’s coming to visit us in Bright? 😉#TRAQ #TrailRunningAustralia #KoalaTuesday #TrailRunning #RunningCommunity #FriendshipsThroughRunning #NobodyLeftBehind #BrightVictoria #SeeYouOnTheTrails
