The Lions Club of Brisbane West are happy to advise the Poolwerx Moggill Marathon is back on Sunday 18th May!
Last year we were fortunate to contribute proceeds from the event to Bravery Box(supporting children and teens through cancer treatment) and 11 local community groups. This year, with your contribution, we are hoping to do the same, and fingers crossed for some great weather on the day too.
We want to provide residents with the reassurance that there are no full road closures for this event and that residents will be able to leave and return to their properties at all times. The event is being managed by professional traffic management, the Moggill State Emergency Service (SES) with support from the Queensland Police Service (QPS), Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) and Brisbane City Council (BCC).
The primary focus of the day will be to ensure the safety of everyone involved and to minimise the impact on the local community. Council officers will be in attendance to ensure compliance with local laws. We ask that you exercise caution for the runners participating in the event, with only minor delays of a few minutes could be expected, if any. Please share this message within your network to help ensure everyone is well informed. The guide below details times when runners may be present in small numbers on the left-hand side of roads used on the course.
