A few events were cancelled due to lack of participants or poor weather.

K2PD race was moved to September, and fell Father’s Day. The 2015 event is back to its original date

on the third weekend in August.

We use the Cairns parkrun as our weekly social run and about 25% of the participants at parkrun are

Dynamic Runners.

The Come-and-Try Trail Runs are good to give people a feel for what trail running is about, and to allow

them to run over the course prior to race day.
