While in Busselton…

17 11 2009

On the Busselton Jetty Swim weekend the Busselton Jets Running Club is holding their second annual Busselton Half Marathon.

Though the Jetty Swim is probably enough activity for any normal person in one weekend, family and friends who may be going south might like to get involved without getting in the water. There is an event for everyone with 21.1km run, 10km run, 5km run and a 5km walk.

Last year Fiona did the 5km run (and the swim next day too,) and Regina did the Half Marathon. For more information, check out the event website here.

What: Busselton Half Marathon 2010

When: Saturday February 6th 2010

Events: 21.1Km Run, 10Km Run, 5Km Run, 5Km Walk





Busselton Jetty Swim 2010

16 11 2009

The Busselton Jetty Swim 2010 will be held on February 7th next year. That’s now 12 weeks out so Leonie and Robert have been hard at work cooking up trouble for all those planning on going down there this year.

I’ll be posting their training programmes on the Training Page here on the website. Robert is also sending these to everyone planning on doing the swim. Let him know if you haven’t been getting the emails and he’ll add you to the list.

It’s always a great weekend with a great level of participation from members.
