Whitsunday rejoov camp 2019

Airlie beach view from our mantra boathouse accommodation

Fantastic start to our Whitsunday Rejoov running camp with fabulous runs along the coast and hitting the hills and trails. 

Staying at the majestic Mantra Boathouse apartments right on the water. Plenty of restaurants to choose from with hot breakfasts cooked up in house by Chris and Greta. 

Beautiful sunshine for swimming in the pool & beach and for a swim run session in Airlie beach lagoon. Awesome core strength session by Juny using special techniques and our body weight. 

Hitting up the Airlie beach park run by the water on a tricky course with 4 park run newbies, a Pb by Andrew and a course record by Chris 16.34.
