About Les Tobin	Les was a long term member of the club who is remembered as a true gentleman and passionate runner who was always keen to share his experience, humor and enthusiasm in the club. Les was the 3:45 pacer at the Gold Coast Marathon for many years, a key player in the club’s participation in the Endeavour 500km Road Relay, a true leader in guiding and supporting club members in their training for various events and quite simply a really great guy.  Les also served his country as a proud military man and was an avid studier in the field of genealogy.
