We are pumped to be announcing that PRLAC will be joined by Coles Little Athletics Athlete Ambassador and 2x Olympian, Bec Henderson to help us celebrate Coles Community Round on Saturday November 8th.

In helping us celebrate #ColesCommunityRound , we encourage all our athletes and volunteers to get into the Coles spirit by dressing up in a Coles-themed outfit - think bananas, shopping, red. Let your imagination run wild! Prizes will be on offer for the best dressed costumes.

We look forward to welcoming Bec next Saturday and cannot wait to celebrate Coles Community Round. Our regular program will be modified to allow for Bec's visit including a Q and A with our athletes and a chance for PRLAC athletes to meet Bec! We will also be having a BBQ to celebrate Coles Community Round
