For all PCCCT members, it’s time to start thinking about the upcoming season. In the lead up to this season we are encouraging all members to get out there in your club shirts and singlets at your local events. We are aiming to make the club’s presence known in the local community and hopefully attract a few new runners to our club.

As an added incentive we will be running a random prize draw each Monday between now and the start of the season for members. Get out there, run an event in your club gear and post it to Facebook. All members whose photos are posted each week will go into the draw for a pair of running socks available from Bitumen 2 Bush.

Bitumen 2 Bush are our sponsors for these prizes and are a wonderful source for all your running needs, both on and off road.

• One random entrant will selected each Monday afternoon and receive one pair of running socks available from Bitumen 2 Bush
