Mildura
Waves
.... our aquatic headquarters. This is where we
catch up and play with friends enroute to the serious
business of getting fast & fit in a world-class
training facility. Cool summer fun is built around swim/run brick sessions, then we head indoors for swim/gym winter action. Spa and sauna for remedial work and the bubbles. |
 |
Atlas Sheds
... a couple of life's little pleasures are talking
up the prospect of a Hawks v Kangas footy grand final
with Mark & Geoff, and laying out the maps on
a big workbench in our Atlas Shed. Either way, we
thank the Stevens Family for their generous support
to Mallee 12. Hawks by 5 points. |
 |
Mildura City Heart
... when we are all said and done with sport & adventure, our natural instincts for top-class food, coffee, & retail mischief invariably see us head for Mildura City Heart. Catching up with friends over a long black, or enjoying the dynamic & vibrant atmosphere of our CBD, it's the place to be. |

Fishers
IGA
... with marathon-man Alan at the helm the link to
running and sport is always strong but only goes part-way
to explaining the Fishers commitment to local communities
in regional Victoria and NSW. First man on board with
support for the Mallee 12 and an integral part of
anything that goes swim, ride, run in our district. |
 |
Devilee's Refrigeration
... very cool to be partnering Devilee's through the extremes of climate that so effect our semi-desert sport and adventure. They keep us warm when we are cold, comfortable when it is hot, and Fi even joins us for a Track run every second blue moon. With the support of NW Victoria's premier AC team, we get to play all year round.

 |
Lencia's "Eff"
... Rich, Jazzy, and the Lencia marketing team hit liquid gold with this one. Easily our fave recovery drink, straight or as a mixer. Better still, we get to do terrible mischief with Eff words, all cleverly concealed behind a curtain of bubbles. Effing fantastic.

Mako
... when you look at clouds for a living, and spend the rest of your day playing under a searing sun, sunglasses are the one area of zero compromise. We started wearing MAKO's in 1998, dazzled by their performance in the WA tropics. Call it tunnel vision, but our idea of superb sporting eyewear still starts and finishes at the shark logo. A true solar predator.

Ronhill
... we were more than a little surprised when John at Ronhill UK approached us to partner our sporting endeavour. Mischievous British funny men like Benny Hill & Ronnie Barker flashed through our thoughts before we realised that John really was coming at us from the leading British manufacturer of technical, high performance sporting apparel. Honoured to build our alliance with Queen and country, although the Ashes and Olympic medals remain a delicate subject in correspondence.

 |
Air Vanuatu
.... our travel aspirations into and around Vanuatu are only possible with the support and generosity of this world-class airline. Timely departures and arrivals combined with the friendliest air crew we have ever had the pleasure of flying with. Just makes you want to explore.
Beyond the terminal, Katie Urrutia is our fave person in the entire travel industry, effortlessly handling our group booking madness. |

Zilzie Wines
... positioned stylishly at the end of the alphabet but always top of our dining wine list. The Regional Collection accompanies our every sporting success, the rest of the range we drink for fun & great value. Every time Jo lands gorgeous Zilzie product on the back verandah, we really do want to share it with family & friends, but Mrs Runningwateradventures thinks such fine wine would be best reserved for athletes zooming onto our event start lines. Couldn't agree more. Cheers. |

Visual
Strategy Design
... if you need someone to turn your concept into
a stunning logo, banner or poster, Brad at VSD is
the one man to speak to. We walked in with a mallee
leaf and came out with artwork that said so much about
our race and our place. His patience and ability to
interpret our crazy ideas made the whole thing great
fun too. |
| |
The Sunnyland Press
... not sure if we Zoom into Sunnyland or Sunnyland into Zoom, but either way Cocksy and The Team are the people we talk to when we need brilliant M12 posters or anything else in print. Either side of fast & efficient printing, we trade tales from the off-road world where we all love to play. |
| |
Zoos Victoria
... good friends in the conservation world. Our team gently fund-raises through Mallee 12 beanie sales for the the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect and the zoo crew channel our dollars into the hugely successful captive breeding program of this hardy critter. Nice work. Nice bug. |

Smartraveller
... "it's a must see destination". |
