Race Calendar
Townsville Road Runners meet every Saturday morning - rain, hail or shine - the only exceptions are the occasional replacement with some Sunday Fun Runs.
During the running season, from March to October, competition runs are organised at different venues, over varying distances and terrains, from flat to challenging hills.
If you wish to volunteer to help at any of the runs on the calendar, then send an e-mail or see Mary Donoghue at one of the club runs.
Below is the calendar for the current month. - Scroll down for the calendar for the year.
