What an awesome day had by all! Great to have some new faces on the BBQ and the vibes were excellent at yesterday's Arc'teryx Routeburn Classic! Thanks to the organizers for having us, and big thanks to European Bakery Queenstown, Whitestone Cheese, and McKibbon’s of Royalburn for supplying us with food to serve some very hungry runners! With your support we raised over $4200 towards the Lakeside Community Centre Project! Yeehaw!

We're always on the hunt for more helping hands. If you are keen to get involved at our next fundraiser please don't hesitate to drop us a line - whether you have one hour to spare or want to get on board for the long-haul, we'd love to have you along for the ride 😀

What a ripper of a day! Thank you to the Lakeside Rugby Club for hosting another GY Races for the books.

If you came to buy a sausage or have a yarn with one of our lovely volunteers, we would like to thank you for helping us to fundraise over $2200 for the Lakeside ECE & Community Centre Project. Every little bit goes a long way towards helping us towards our goals.

And an extra special thank you to all the volunteers who came out to give up their time on race day to help make it happen. We really couldn't do it without you!
