Our first expo stall at Run Bateman's Bay on February 8th was a true test of endurance and spirit. The rain poured down, but it did not dampen the energy or enthusiasm of the families and runners who stopped by. Seeing so many happy faces, even in the wet weather, reminded us why community running is such a powerful experience. We also had the pleasure of representing two fantastic brands, Goodr Sunnies and Revvies Energy, adding more excitement to the day.
As we look ahead, March promises new adventures with a community run along the scenic Gerringong to Kiama Coastal Trail. This event will take place on Sunday, March 1st, starting at 8 am. It’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy running in nature, test out our range of running accessories, and connect with fellow runners. Don’t forget to bring your swimmers for a refreshing dip at the end of the run!
Reflecting on Our First Expo Experience
Setting up our first expo stall was both challenging and rewarding. The wet weather pushed us to adapt quickly, but it also brought the community closer together. Families and runners braved the rain to share smiles, stories, and support. This event showed us the strength of community running, where the weather is just a small part of the bigger picture.
Representing Goodr Sunnies and Revvies Energy was a highlight. Both brands offer products that enhance the running experience—Goodr Sunnies with stylish, durable sunglasses perfect for any weather, and Revvies Energy providing the boost needed for long runs or busy days. Sharing these with the community added value to our presence at the expo.

Product Update: Running Belt Progress

This belt will combine comfort, functionality, and style, making it an essential accessory for your running adventures. We've been using all of the feedback we received from our Instagram poll, from real runners, to ensure it has the features that you need!
Why Community Running Matters

Our events focus on inclusivity and enjoyment, making running accessible and fun for everyone. Testing new running accessories in a supportive environment also helps runners find gear that truly works for them before committing to a purchase.
