⭐️ FEATURE FRIDAY ⭐️

This week we have a RHA Regular, Qaisar Sarwar!

🎤 How did you first get into running?

I first got into running about 15 years ago when I was working at IBM at Cumberland State Forest. There was a 5 km running track through the forest, and a few of my colleagues used to head out for a run during lunch or after work. I decided to join them one day, really enjoyed it, and I’ve been running ever since.

What’s the most impactful thing running has given you, or still gives to you?

Running has become much more than just exercise for me. It helps me stay physically fit, clears my mind, and is one of the best ways I’ve found to relieve stress. I also love the personal challenge of setting new goals and seeing what I’m capable of. Every finish line, whether it’s a 5 km event or a half marathon, gives me a real sense of achievement and reminds me that consistency and perseverance pay off.

What are your training/running plans for the rest of 2026?

I’m looking forward to completing more events this year, including the Real Insurance Sydney 10, City2Surf, the TCS Sydney Marathon Family Fun Run, the Sydney Half, and the Parklands Trail Run. My goal is to continue enjoying the journey, stay active, and build my medal collection!

Parramatta Race Series Race 2 is just around the corner 🏃‍♂️

We’re looking forward to seeing plenty of familiar faces on course at Silverwater Park, along with first-timers joining us on the start line.

Only 5 days to go until Race 2 of the Parramatta Race Series 🏃

It doesn't matter if you're running, jogging or walking. You belong on the start line 🫶

Everyone starts somewhere and race day isn't just for seasoned runners.

It's for first timers, weekend joggers, walkers catching up with friends and anyone looking to challenge themselves in their own way.

There's no pressure to be the fastest. Just show up, enjoy the atmosphere and cross the finish line at your own pace.

Your first race might just be the start of something bigger (like racing toward a Deca Medal 🫣).

Who's adding their first race to the calendar?

Our very first Wodonga Running Festival is coming up… so the question is, why race Wodonga? 🏃‍♂️🔥

Because race day isn’t just about chasing fast times.

It’s about challenging yourself, getting involved in an awesome community and being part of an event where everyone belongs on the start line.

Whether you’re chasing a PB, running your first ever event, tackling it with mates or bringing the family along for the 2km Dash, this one’s for everyone.

Albury is always a cracker so we can’t wait to bring RHA to Wodonga!

🤩 FREE TEE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS 🤩
Run the trails, earn the tee! Every registered participant for the Parklands Trail Running Festival taking place on 20 September will receive a premium quality bespoke tee, waiting for them at the finish line!

Need a reason to get moving this winter? 👀

Parramatta Race Series Race 2 is the kind of morning that makes it easy with a good course, a great crowd and that awesome bit of race day energy to keep you consistent.

Run it for a PB, run it with your mates, run it for the Deca Medal or just run it because it feels good to have something on the calendar.

Race 2 is coming up. Lock it in 🏃‍♂️🔥
