Twilight Run 2013 - The Road To 20 Years
Sunday 24 March 2013 turned out to be one of the wildest fun runs the Drive Fitness team has ever participated in!
The weather took a sudden turn that afternoon catching runners off guard. Heavy rain, strong winds, ankle-deep water and even falling branches turned the Brisbane Twilight Run into something that resembled more of a Tough Mudder than a 10km fun run.
The conditions were far from ideal for setting personal bests however all Drive Fitness team members made it safely across the finish line. It certainly wasn't the run anyone had expected but it made for one of those memorable Drive Fitness experiences that we're still talking about all these years later.
Drive Fitness is on the road to 20 years!
As we approach this milestone, we'll be taking a look back at some of the moments we've shared with our community that paved the way and shaped who we are today.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey with us. We look forward to revisiting these memories with you.
PAST ENTRIES IN THE ROAD TO 20 YEARS
Tough Mudder 2013 - The Road To 20 Years
The inaugural Tough Mudder QLD event took place in August 2013 on the Sunshine Coast and the Drive Fitness team was there! This was our first ever obstacle course together - but it wouldn't be our last!
5th Workout Final 2016 - The Road To 20 Years
in July 2016, during the 2nd Annual 4 Week Workout Series we introduced a one-off format change that remains a one-and-only in Drive Fitness history, an unexpected 5th workout final.
The First Ever Drive Fitness Event: The 2008 Bench Press Challenge - The Road to 20 Years
Not long after starting Drive Fitness in 2007 we began thinking about ways to bring our clients together outside of their regular training sessions. At the time we had fewer than 20 clients, but we were enthusiastic about building a community centred around health, fitness and supporting each other.
Bridge to Brisbane 2013 - The Road To 20 Years
On Sunday 1 September 2013, almost 13 years ago, Drive Fitness entered a team in the Bridge to Brisbane 10km event. It wasn't our first Bridge to Brisbane - we'd been entering a Drive Fitness team every year since 2009, but there were a few things about the 2013 event that made it particularly memorable.
Team Duathlon (RowERG & BikeERG) 2019 - The Road To 20 Years
For this entry in the Road to 20 Years series we’re looking back at an event that has made a one and only appearance on the Drive Fitness calendar - the Team RowErg & BikeERG Duathlon. Held on a Friday night, 10 May 2019, teams of 4 - two men and two women - raced through a 2000m BikeErg immediately following by a 1000m RowErg with each team member completing 250m row and 500m bike in relay format.
