Welcome to 2026! We hope you all had a festive break and enjoyed the extra time to train. Now’s the time to set some goals for the year. There are lots of great events coming up.
ACT Swim Run Series
The ACT Swim Run Series began this month and was almost cancelled by storms again. Fortunately it went ahead and a number of Vikings raced.
Crit gold for Matty
Matty has been racing criteriums all season and finally won gold in D-grade. Go Matt!
Summer Kowen Forest Trail Run
The Wamboin community runs fantastic events through the year, starting with the Summer Kowen Forest Trail Run. Many Vikings took part in the 12 km and half marathon in beautiful running weather.
Carter and Co
James Carter and his business were featured before Christmas for their charity work through the Carter and Co Fund, set up in 2023. James and his team keep taking on harder events to raise money, and last year’s highlights included a 20 km swim and James’ first 70.3.
New Sunday swim
There’s now a third weekly swim session: Sundays 3 to 4 pm at Lakeside Leisure Centre with Coach Luke. See the training page for the full schedule.
