Lovely clear weather and good turnout for our Thursday Social Fun Run to run on Global Running Day. Smiles before and after a 5 or 7km run for some regulars, becoming-regulars and visitors.
The days are getting a LOT shorter so make sure you’re ready to start at 5:15pm next week to get back before it’s COMPLETELY dark to see the path which happened about 5.50pm this week!

Global Running Day
June 7 was Global Running Day, and as we are mostly a day ahead of every one here in Fiji, we did ours on Thursday 8th to be running at same time as every one else 🙂
Over two million runners from across the globe, in 164 countries, have pledged to get up, get out, and go for a run. Don’t worry if you haven’t made plans yet, just come along to our normal Thursday Social Run.
This is a great day to invite a nonrunner to take up the sport. Suva Marathon Club’s Thursday Social Run is perfect starting point for people of all ages and abilities.
Any run counts, but if a solo run isn’t your idea of a celebration, then look no further!

WHAT IS GLOBAL RUNNING DAY?
Global Running Day is a day for people around the world to celebrate the joys of running. Participation is easy—just pledge to take part in some type of running activity on June 7, 2017 (or June 8th here in Suva at our weekly Social Run!).
It can be a solo lap around the block, a long run with friends, or even a game of tag with your kids. The key is to share your passion for the sport and inspire others to get moving.

Starting to get darker so we’ll be starting from 5.15pm from May onwards. Need to be finished by 6pm when it’s dark, so choose your distance carefully.
Please try to get here when we head out at 5.15pm to keep us all safe from the bumps and holes in the path, there’s no street lighting along the way remember.
Join us for our FUN-5k! Come down to walk or run 5km or 7km. Beginner’s and regulars welcome.
Some beautiful sunsets to keep you distracted at the moment!
