A big thank you to Gavin Markey from Tailwind Nutrition Australia who has provided us with some spot prizes for this year’s event. There are 2 sample packs (10 of each flavour); 4 large bags and 2 medium bags, making a total of eight prizes.

We over 120 jobs to fill over the three days for the 3 Marathons in 3 Days on 10-12 July 2015, so it will help if you or a family member/friend can donate some time during the three days to help us out.

Kathy Sinclair, our volunteer coordinator has slotted in some people already. If you have not heard from Kathy yet and are keen to support us, please contact her on helpers@dynamicrunning.com.au. Also supply your telephone number.

If you are keen for a trail run on Sunday, 5 April (Easter weekend), can you let me know via email info@dynamicrunning.com.au so we can organise when and where we will meet. It will run over most of the course for Day 2 of the 3 Marathons in 3 Days, so we may start at the turn into Vivier’s Track on Clohesy River Road.

We have numerous other trail runs over the 3M3D course during the next few months.

Sun, 03 May, Kauris Half Marathon come-and-try run (16+ only, conditions apply)

Sun, 24 May, Inaugural 3-way Race to the Fig Tree (16+ only, conditions apply)

Sun, 21 June, Come-and-try Run: Cairns Marathon (18+ only)

These runs are all FREE, but you must register your interest prior to the run to receive updates on where to meet, etc.

I will start a set of webinars next week – each 3rd Monday of the month at 8.00pm. I was going to do them weekly, but I think once a month will be enough for us to get through all the topics the squads will need in preparation for the events in July. Lorraine

On the invitation of the Marketing Department of the Xiamen International Marathon Organising Committee, Lorraine Lawson from Dynamic Running will attend the Xiamen Marathon Expo from 31 December 2014 through to 2 January 2015. She will also be a spectator at the Marathon on 3 January.

The Marketing Department has arranged accommodation, meals and transport during that time and they are helping out and providing Chinese volunteers and a marque for the stall at the expo. With 45 000 competitors it’s bound to be a busy three days and a spectacular event! And competitors at the Xiamen International Marathon will get an opportunity to see what we have on offer in our back yard, including the 3 Marathons in 3 Days and the Kuranda to 64km Port Douglas Ultra Trail Race.

In true Dynamic Running style, we hope to muster a group together to go over in 2016 to compete in the event. So if you are keen, start saving.

Keen to stay at Cedar Park Rainforest Resort for the 3M3D? They still have three rooms left. You can book online.

Great accommodation package, book early as the resort is not holding any rooms for us! To make a booking, please contact the Reservations Department and quote:
