Dear Community,
This is a reminder about next weekend’s trail runs in and around Paluma village. It is also in our events calendar.
If you’re interested in where competitors will be running, please check out Outer Limits Adventures’ website. However, if you’re unaware, the 50km Ultra marathon starts early Saturday morning from Gumburu. The Sunday morning trail runs of 5km, 10km and 21km start from and finish at the Village Green.
This is another major event organized by Outer Limits Adventures which puts Paluma on the map for adventure racing. Please be patient with the increased amount of traffic and parked cars in the village on Sunday morning in particular. This event brings extra business to local restaurants and the PDCA is operating the BBQ and selling soft drinks to raise funds for the community.
Feel free to come to the village Green on Sunday morning to cheer competitors on at the start of their races.
I am sorry to say these events do not bring any noticeable extra business to our restaurant, in fact it has lessened with food vans etc at the start and finish of the races. We do not begrudge the extra money that is donated to the PDCA and Fire Brigade but please do not include us in benefiting from these events, in fact, walkers, bird watchers and visitors avoid the mountain on these dates.
