LOCALS BACK RUNAWAY

From Page 1

.... and finishing line. Many Noosa Masters swimmers have recently returned from state championships with a hoard of medals and 25 state and national records. Competition between locals and visitors in the event will be fierce!

The Noosa Masters club has 80 members, with many competing in pool and open water swimming events around Australia. By volunteering at Runaway Noosa and the Noosa Triathlon, the club raises funds needed to pay coaches and to host an annual swim meet that attracts around 150 competitors from 20 or more clubs.

Based at the Noosa Aquatic Centre, the club welcomes swimmers over the age of 18, with most members currently aged from 50 to over 80 with the pool sessions run by coaches focusing on fitness, technique and endurance. Without the commitment local volunteer organisations such as The Noosa Masters Swim Club bring to local events, they would not be the success that they are.

Runaway Noosa is a part of the Runaway Marathon Series, which has hand-picked the most stunning destinations in New Zealand, Hawkes Bay and Queenstown as well as Sydney and Noosa here in Australia.

Those who compete at all four will receive an exclusive MVP, (Most Valuable Player) award. For information on volunteering at Runaway Noosa please visit the Runaway Noosa website.
