Hammet Street in Currajong marks the start of Townsville Fat Dogz Hotfoot, a Townsville Road Runners club event that feels like a regular Saturday run rather than a large production. Located in tropical North Queensland, it follows local road routes that "showcase the tropical North Queensland cityscape" and the flat to gently undulating terrain of the inner suburbs.
Expect an early start and steady road running, with just enough rise and fall to keep your legs engaged while you try to outpace the tropical heat. Club members, visitors, beginners, walkers, and faster runners are all welcomed into the same supportive local running community. A gold coin donation typically covers the simple post-run refreshments.
