Who’s Who in 2022, Sport: Moreton Bay Road Runners
Published 2:45am 1 December 2022
Moreton Bay Road Runners (MBRR) is best known for helping host the huge Jetty2Jetty Fun Run along the Redcliffe Peninsula foreshore.
But, in the club’s fourth decade, its runners have also been in action across Australia and indeed the world.
Clive Gross was MBRR’s fastest marathoner this year, clocking 2 hours 37 minutes 23 sections at the Melbourne Marathon.
Other club members have also raced at events in Queensland, in other states of Australia including the Blackmores Sydney Marathon - and in the world-famous Chicago, New York and London Marathons.
Close to 5000 runners descended on Woody Point in the middle of winter for the Jetty 2 Jetty Fun Run, which had 3km, 5km, 10km and 21.1km races.
First home in the half marathon was Liam Boudin in 1 hour 4 minutes 45 seconds, more than two-and-a-half minutes ahead of Nicholas Free.
He was nearly 10 minutes faster than third-placed Tom Grieve and Boudin’s final 5km split time was also close to his first 5km split.
MBRR members also teamed up for the Reddy Fun Run/Walk in June raising funds for the Redcliffe Hospital Auxiliary.
