Be fearless and enter the Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane
More than 50 people of all abilities will tackle The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane for team FEARLSS Coaching.
Qualified personal trainer Jacinta Robinson, who founded Fearless Coaching, said it brought her 'so much joy' to see her clients cross the finish line with smiles on their faces.
She said her best tip was to make running the whole course non-sop a 'non-negotiable agreement with yourself'.
'Keep running, even if you jog really slowly, almost like jogging on the spot. If that's your goal then don't focus too much on your pace; look around & enjoy the sights & sounds of the race … and keep running,' Ms Robinson said.
An estimated 35,000 people will run, jog, walk and wheel along Brisbane streets, bridges and
iconic landmarks on September 14.
The Sunday Mail Editor Melanie Pilling said the 2024 event sold out and urged Queenslanders to get in early to secure their spot at the starting line.
'The Sunday Mail Transurban Bridge to Brisbane is one of this city's most loved and
enduring community events. It is an annual celebration that unites and motivates
people of all ages, abilities and aspirations,' Ms Pilling said.
'It inspires an incredible sense of camaraderie on the course and in our communities,
while helping to raise funds for more than 300 charities and community groups across
Queensland.'

AFL 2025 Sydney Swans defeat Fremantle Dockers, Round 17, as Tom Papley injured at the SCG
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. The Sydney Swans are still alive in season 2025 after a thrilling 11-point win over Fremantle on Sunday. But their 14.10 (94) to 12.11 (83) win has come at a cost with Joel Amartey (groin) limping off in the dying stages and Tom Papley (hamstring) subbed out at half time. It's another painful close loss for the Dockers, who missed the finals last year after several narrow defeats.

The Swans were out by 20 points in the third term before the Dockers found their fight through big man Luke Jackson (13 disposals, two goals) who kicked truly after the three quarter time siren.

When Michael Frederick put his running shot out on the full in the dying stages, Sydney were able to hang on for the win. Fremantle's top eight hopes now hang in the balance, but for Sydney they stay alive in season 2025, although coach Dean Cox is sweating on his latest injuries. 'We need to work out the extent of that (Papley's injury) and the same with Amartey late in the game,' he said. 'We'll see throughout the next couple of days how that settles, get some scans and the results will come from that.' Their 11-point win at the SCG was set up on the back of a first half midfield 'bashing'. At half time, the Swans nailed five goals to none from centre clearance in worrying signs for Freo coach Justin Longmuir.

'It is the mechanics of the four that are in there,' Dermott Brereton added. 'When (Brodie) Grundy is in there predominantly, they are having the first look, the first touch, the first clearance, first possession. It's predominantly going Sydney's way. 'That's the difference in the game as it stands.' Brodie Grundy was given the massive task of taking on Freo's tag team of Sean Darcy and Jackson. Brodie Grundy (left) was a standout again for the Swans. (Photo by) But Sydney's 'shining light' delivered in another outstanding performance. 'He's like a man possessed,' Fox Footy's Dwayne Russell said. 'He's a different man Brodie Grundy this last month and a bit. 'He did finish fourth in the best and fairest last year.' Statistics showed Grundy has leapt into the #11 ranked player in the AFL – up from the #95 he was ranked for the first six rounds. By full time, Grundy racked up 20 disposals, 33 hit-outs and a goal in a stellar performance. The Swans have shown vast improvement since the likes of Errol Gulden returned, but Cox will be hoping for some good news on the injury front ahead of next week's clash with the Saints at Marvel Stadium.

Wardrobe malfunction ruins Aussie's hopes at Wimbledon
Don't miss out on the headlines from Tennis. Followed categories will be added to My News. Wimbledon star Daria Kasatkina lost a point during her clash with Liudmila Samsonova after her earring got stuck in her shirt. The 16th seed was taking on the 19th seed when the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction occurred, The Sun reports. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. After striking a forehand return, Kasatkina's earring caught her Adidas polo. The Aussie was unable to free her ear in time to respond to Samsonova's next ball. Not quite believing her luck, Russian star Samsonova watched her routine backhand trundle beyond the helpless Kasatkina. Daria's earring got caught in her top in the middle of a point. The Aussie couldn't do anything as play continued. This incident rather summed up Kasatkina's outing on the No.3 Court. The former quarter-finalist here in SW19 was blitzed early on by Samsonova. Kasatkina trailed 6-2 2-0 40-40 before both players were forced to go off by a rain delay. At this point umpire Nico Helwerth was wheeled off the court, much to the amusement of fans. And any thoughts that the break would do Kasatkina some good following her poor start were quickly dispelled. Liudmila Samsonova knocked out Daria Kasatkina to advance into the fourth round at Wimbledon. (AP Photo/Joanna Chan) When play resumed around two hours later, it was much of the same for the 28-year-old. Kasatkina went on to be beaten 6-2 6-3 by her in-form opponent. Samsonova will next face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The Spaniard defeated Coco Gauff's conqueror Dayana Yastremska 6-1 2-6 6-3 on Court 16.

NAIDOC Week: Hope Vale bull-riding brothers set to tackle the States
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sport. Followed categories will be added to My News. The rich, red soil of a remote Aboriginal community in North Queensland is a field of dreams for four exciting bull-riding brothers. Jyren and Kaileb Kyle and Tyson and Lynton Ford have been taming four-legged beasts since clambering aboard their first poddy calves at the tender age of three. The fearsome four hail from Hope Vale on the Cape York Peninsula, the stamping ground of Indigenous rugby league legend Matt Bowen. The brothers from the small town are keen to grab some headlines themselves by making it big in one of the world's toughest sports. Hope Vale's bull-riding brothers (from left) Jyren Kyle, 15, Kaileb Kyle, 13, Tyson Ford, 11, and Lynton Ford, 9. Two of them are already on their way, with Kaileb, 13, and Tyson, 11, gearing up for their first international competition in the United States in September. They have qualified to ride with the Borghero Mini Buckers at the International Mini Bulls Association World Finals in Utah. Kaileb will compete in the 12-14 years age group and Tyson in the 10-12 years, climbing aboard bulls that weigh more than 400kg. Mini Buckers founder Danny Borghero runs rodeos in the north and has been keeping a keen watch on the young duo, quickly identifying their most valuable trait. 'They're all try,' he said. 'A lot of bull riders today, once things start getting a bit tough, they quit… but those two little boys just never quit.' Danny expects the pair to stand tall at the world finals, saying they should 'very easily' make it into the short go (the top 10). He's also making some exciting predictions on their future prospects too. 'They can be Australian champions the way that they're starting their career,' he declared. 'If they stay on the right track, they have every opportunity to do that.' Kaileb Kyle shows the form that has him being touted as a future Australian champion. Picture: Evan Morgan Danny said the boys' family was doing everything it could to help them realise their goals. Mum Ashleigh Oberleuter said bull-riding was a 'family affair', with the boys following in the footsteps of their father, grandfather and uncle. They have clocked up thousands of kilometres ferrying the boys to rodeos, expanding the circuit as they got older. They also enrolled Jyren and Kaileb at St Brendan's College in Yeppoon, some 1400km away, because of its renowned rodeo program which has produced super stars such as Brady Fielder. Tyson will join them there next year and, no doubt, Lynton will be there when his time comes. Tyson Ford is heading to the United States. Ashleigh said growing up in such a small community, the boys were not exposed to a lot of sports but she could not see them doing anything else anyway. Bull-riding was a natural fit for them and they loved doing what their dad did before them. While Jyren has been described as a 'very handy cowboy' and Lynton is showing the same promise as his older brothers, it is Kaileb and Tyson who are most intent on finding success in the arena. Ashleigh said the world finals was a fitting reward, and the boys could not wait to represent their culture and community on such a grand scale. 'The PBR is right up there on their list and anything in the higher level of bull riding in between is what they want to be doing,' she said. Kaileb Kyle is part of the St Brendan's rodeo program. Picture: Evan Morgan 'They're competitive but more with themselves. They always want to do better. 'If there's a bull that's bucked them off, they just want to ride him.' Kaileb said his riding had flourished under mentor Bill Oram at St Brendan's, something which had further fuelled his desire to ride in the PBR. The involvement of his brothers was also a key motivator. 'It's really exciting for me watching them ride, being able to give them tips that I learnt at St Brendan's and teaching them a thing or two. 'We have each others back in the arena and when we ride together, we gee each other up.'
