The Seymour Running Club’s annual general meeting has seen its full committee re-elected as preparations ramp up for the 2025 Seymour Gift, set to be held at Kings Park on December 13.
All executive positions have remained consistent for the year ahead.
Blair Collins, recently elected to the Victorian Athletic League (VAL) Board, returns as president, joined by vice-president and star VAL athlete Cooper Lubeck, Mitch Itter as secretary, and Peter Elliott as treasurer.
The committee is eager to put on another massive event for the region, fresh off the Seymour Gift being named Meeting of the Year by the VAL.
President Blair Collins said the committee was looking forward to topping last year’s efforts.
“Our first year together has been absolutely incredible, but we’re committed to making the Seymour Gift bigger and better every year,” he said.
“The entire committee is active throughout the community, and everyone brings a unique skillset to the club.
“To have everyone returned on the committee is a testament to the passion of our members and their vision for the Seymour Gift.”
Outside of the committee, sponsors and members will continue to play a crucial role in the club’s success.
“While our committee has been amazing, nothing is possible without the generous support of our sponsors and members,” Mr Collins said.
“We’ve been blown away by the support shown by the local business community and look forward to strengthening these partnerships in the year ahead.
“Last year we had over 120 Foundation Members, and we’ll be looking to top that again this year.
“Memberships will go on sale shortly, with plenty of updates about the Seymour Gift to follow.”
