JOANNE Turner is running her third free self defence class in Maleny, to help runners and outdoor enthusiasts to stay safe.
Joanne is the event director for the Maleny Trail Parkrun, and an instructor at Maleny Rhee Taekwondo.
She is using her taekwondo skills to teach participants simple and effective tips and techniques in a safe, fun environment. The free event is inspired by an increase of attacks on female runners.
Joanne said there will be a few instructors helping out on the day, and she hopes they can attract up to 100 participants. The free self defence class is on Saturday, July 13 from 9-10:30am at the Maleny Sports Park, Parklands Drive.
