Sunday, was the biggest yet!<\/p>\n<p>About 160 runners tackled the race, which this year was also an official Queensland Athletics event, the 2023 State Road Relay Championships.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the record number of runners, there was a record number of South Burnett teams.<\/p>\n<p>The South Burnett Girl Nuts flew the flag for the region, taking out third place in the Women&#8217;s category.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The event was organised by the Ashgrove Rangers Athletics Club from Brisbane, with some local liaison from South Burnett-based runners.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first group of runners left the head of the rail trail in Kingaroy, near the Liberty Garage, about 7:30am on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Teams of between five and eight members then\u00a0 ran in a relay between Kingaroy to Wondai and back.<\/p>\n<p>The course was approximately 60km, with the shortest leg 400m and the longest almost 8km.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers manned checkpoints along the route.<\/p>\n<p>The competitors gathered in Kingaroy&#8217;s O&#8217;Neill Square after the event to enjoy lunch, prepared by volunteers from the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club.<\/p>\n<p>The club is raising funds to open even more mountain bike trails in the South Burnett region.<\/p>\n<p>After the presentations of the trophies, Wondai parkrun co-ordinator Ros Heit invited the visiting runners to come back to the South Burnett
