By Margot Manning, podiatrist and intraining running coach<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n On Sunday 12 August, Steve, our daughter Zoe and I ran the City2Surf in Sydney\u2014along with 80 thousand other keen runners! My favourite moment while standing among the crowd was when Steve turned to me and said, \u201cI love the running community\u201d as he watched the way every single runner supported each other, whether they were friends, family or total strangers. <\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, everyone in that crowd had a common goal\u2014to run. It\u2019s what we truly cherish about fun runs\u2014they bring people together. Regardless of whether you are a fast, slow or a first-time runner, your fellow runners will always welcome and support you. <\/span><\/p>\n intraining Running Centre\u2019s Twilight Bay Run has always been a favourite race of mine. It\u2019s got such a great buzz and community atmosphere\u2014I love getting to see friends from different running clubs connect, and meeting families who have come to share the experience of running together. <\/span><\/p>\n Everywhere you look, you see smiling faces, support teams on the sidelines cheering on family members or friends, and runners who have only just met each other on the course that day helping each other reach their goals. <\/span><\/p>\n This year the run is held on 22 September from 4pm. Participating in the Twilight Bay Run is the perfect way to tackle a personal goal you\u2019ve been working towards\u2014whether it\u2019s your first 5 or 10km run, your first half marathon, or a personal best. The course is flat, fast and ideal for runners of all ages and experience levels.
