In the early hours of ANZAC Day, Maleny Mountain Runners gathered at the base of Howell’s Knob Lookout for a special tribute. At 5am, headlamps lit the path as runners made their way to the summit, where a short service honoured those who served in war and peace.
The address focused on local soldier Robert Sinclair, born in Maleny in 1892, who died in Belgium during WWI. Despite rain closing in, the group reflected solemnly before sharing ANZAC biscuits and a cuppa.
Formed in September 2023, Maleny Mountain Runners is a social running group welcoming all ages and abilities. They meet every Thursday at 6:15am for a 5km run around Maleny, followed by coffee and conversation. New members are welcome — find them on Facebook.
