The Mackay Road Runners Shawn's Summer Social Series kicked off again at Bluewater Quay with the usual speedy suspects of Paul Mackenzie and Rod Elworthy continuing their fine form.
Joining them were father and son duo, Justin and Toby Rule, who certainly know their way around a fast track or two.
The boys enjoyed an excellent comradery as they pushed each other through the 10km course.
The extreme humidity and tough headwind made for testing conditions however all the guys were up to the challenge.
Carolyn Mapes' completed her 5km course with effortless ease despite the addition and extra pressure of the Race Director’s timepiece.
A big welcome back to Alana, Adam, Vivian and Harvey Knesevic, who joined the runners for a short time before heading off to celebrate Adam's birthday.
It was great to see new and familiar faces treading the pavement including Craig Andrews, Shane and Trudi Barben, Ben Ransom, Stephen Oberg, Michelle and Shane Dodds, Simon Henderson, Gary Thomas, Mick Scholer, Andrew Short, Heli Talinurm, Jo Hughes and Carmel Mahon.
The Mackay Road Runners Annual General Meeting (AGM) set for 24th January has been postponed. Check the website/Facebook for updates.
The Wednesday informal track training sessions continue at 5:30pm from the Aquatic and Recreational Centre (ARC), Ooralea.
