Hi all, I just wanted to let you all know that we've made the hard decision to take a year off from running the CBR100 in 2017. The first two years of the event have been great and from the inaugural event we attracted the largest number of participants in a Canberra trail event ever and we're one of Australia's biggest, a massive thanks to you all for your support! We really wanted to create an event that particularly got women out and active and was accessible for all. We're working hard on some exciting new initiatives for this event in 2018 so it’s by no means good bye. Our event schedule for 2017 here at Earlybird Events is looking really busy and personally, I'm focused on getting out on the trails more myself, swapping my time organising events to participating in them, with lots of racing planned this year and next. We just couldn't do all of that and put on the CBR100 in the way that we would want to. We will be back in contact early next year and in the meantime hopefully we will see you out on the trails! A big personal thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and all of you who have supported the event! See you in 2018. Happy adventuring! Kim

Preparing to Race Optimally

Here it is - Hanny's put together a fantastic podcast for you all on how to prepare to race optimally. Packed with insights from from years of racing and her observations from this years CBR100. Sit back, enjoy and start planning for 2017! FIND YOUR FEET Hanny Allston https://findyourfeet.com.au/collections/webinars-podcasts/products/preparing-to-race-optimally

Unfortunately we haven’t had the response needed to run tonights debrief as a face to face sessions so we have had to make the call to change the format to a podcast. We will let you know when we release the podcast. We will definitely get Hanny back to Canberra to chat all things training, even preparation, blisters when we open entries for the 2017 event. You will still have the opportunity to gain from her extensive knowledge and put in into practise for next years event.

We've currently got 8 RSVP's for Thursdays debrief. We really need 20+ to make it work. If you're planning to come along please jump online and let us know. We appreciate that it is late notice, it's an opportunity that only came up last minute with Hanny already in town but thought it was too good to pass up. A great chance to sit down with one of Australia's most experienced runners and learn from her! Blisters, nutrition, hydration, heat and training, it will all be covered.
