Sri Chinmoy Twilight Botanic Gardens 10km, 5km & 2km Run 2022

We were so excited to see so many new faces at our inaugural Botanic Gardens run on Saturday evening. We definitely enjoyed the event and I know many of the runners did too. It is such a beautiful venue with the giant trees and beautiful gardens and of course the Brisbane river, it makes for a shady peaceful run. We will definitely hold more races in the future here. Some of the runners may have found the course a bit challenging with a few hills throughout, but lets face it, they are hard to avoid in Brisbane. We wanted to hold the entire race within the Gardens which made for an interesting challenge but with a few turns and switchbacks we did manage it. I think the runners covered almost every pathway within the gardens, even the little dirt path through the tropical forest. I don't think we lost anyone. On Easter Monday we hope to hold another run in the Gardens which will be a morning of running and chocolate so keep an eye out for this event.

We held our first City Botanic Gardens run in Brisbane on Saturday evening and it was exciting, crazy and beautiful. The gardens are a great venue with plenty of ancient trees and glorious gardens, and of course, we were alongside the Brisbane River, but it is a busy place with other events happening at the same time. With a few twist and turns, we were able to make the whole course within the gardens, so no road crossings and there was the shade of the trees for much of the course. Of course being Brisbane we were not without hills, but I didn't hear too many complaints about those. This was the first a more to come in the gardens with our next one being an Easter Egg Chase on Monday 18 April. This will be a morning run and will include lots of fun for big and little kids alike. I hope to see everyone there.
