Townsville Bindal Ridge Run

Wadda Mooli Park in Elliot Springs serves as the club-run start line, suitable for a serious effort or a relaxed morning pace. The Townsville Bindal Ridge Run, organized by Townsville Road Runners, offers routes through the "scenic northern suburbs" and maintains that familiar local-club character: well-marked, straightforward, and centered on a "supportive community atmosphere." The course navigates local parklands and residential streets, showcasing some "natural beauty" without adding unnecessary complexity to the morning. Participants include competitive runners, casual joggers, newcomers, walkers, club members, and visitors, all participating together. The early start aids in avoiding the "tropical heat." A gold coin donation is suggested; in keeping with club tradition, this usually contributes to the post-run refreshments.
