Many weekends of the year, you’ll see a colourful convoy of MX-5s out taking advantage of some of the many great roads Victoria and Tasmania have to offer.
Each month’s runs and other activities are detailed in our events calendar.
Previous runs
However, sometimes you might like to do one of the runs yourself … you might have missed an event, or you might have enjoyed it so much that you just have to go out and do it again!
At right we have a selection of popular Club runs which you can download and print out.
Please note that, over time, road conditions and access change, so what’s set out in these previous run notes — while accurate for the day of the original run — may no longer be 100% correct!
Submitting run notes from previous events
To contribute a set of run notes from a run that you’ve organised, click here to send them to our website co-ordinator. We prefer to receive them in Word format, so that layout can be standardised. We’ll then convert them to PDF for the site.
