### 🏃‍♀️ The Plan

We’ll do a relaxed 5-6km return run (or walk!) along Brisbane’s scenic Riverwalk to New Farm Park and back.
✨ No pressure. Go at your own pace.
🎯 Finish point is at Howard Smith Wharves so we can all cool down and walk to Felons Café.

### ☕ Why We Do It

We might geek out on AI — but we’re also here for real-world connection.
One step, one conversation, one coffee at a time.
Bring your curiosity, comfy shoes, and good energy.

### 🎤 Bonus: Jog-and-Talk Video

I’ll be filming a short “jog-and-talk” asking:
“What did you learn this week in AI?”
Join in, listen in, or just enjoy the vibes.
