Run 143

Congratulations Peter. With a mass start on the last run of the season and the year Peter ran his 100th run and took out the win.  What a fabulous way to finish the year and I hope we see you there for the next 100 runs!

Alan and Janette also made a cameo appearance before they venture off on their RunRAW 2013 - 365 Marathons in 365 Days! They will be departing Federation Square at 8:00am on New Years Day and we are all welcome to run the first few kilometres with them down St Kilda Rd (then just catch the tram back!). It would be awesome if some of the Warrandyte River Runners could make it in to see Alan and Janette off on the start of their amazing adventure.

Final results - Congratulations Steve. This season it was Steve's determination that saw him take out the main prize for season 9, 22 points in front of his nearest rivals. And those nearest rivals were Peter and Paul who finished in equal 2nd, with Lou finishing in 3rd position as first female. Owen deserves a very special mention as the winner of our kids division. He always turns up and puts in a grand effort with a smile on his face. Congratulations to you all. We will have the presentations at our first run for 2013 (see below).

Thank you to everyone who has made it along to River Runners during 2012 and I hope you have enjoyed the running as much as the socialising. Have a very safe and happy Christmas and I look forward to seeing you in 2013 for our 4th year of River Runners.

The first run for season 10 will be on Saturday 5 January 2013 at 7:00am. Enjoy the break and I'll see you there.

Run 142

Congratulations Paul! This week it was Paul's turn to take out his 2nd win for the season and secured 14 points. Well done.

It was yet another beautiful morning for running with a hit of coolness in the air before a stinking hot 38 degrees. However there were no personal best times recorded.

We look forward to welcoming those that can make it to the Christmas break up on Sunday - fingers crossed for good weather.

Next week will be the last run for 2012. Where has the year gone? Come down and join us.

With an additional Christmas market being held on Saturday (Rob and I will be there flogging Run Warrandyte if you want to come and say hello), the run will be on Sunday 16 December at 7:30am.

See you down by the hut.

Run 141

Congratulations Pete. This week Pete lead the field by a mile and crossed the line just after the 30 minute mark. Great running!

It was easy points today with only 4 runners and there were no personal best times recorded. Pete came within 15 seconds of his which was a fantastic effort.

Next week we are back to the regular time slot. The run will be on Saturday 8th December 2012 at 7:00am.


Remember to RSVP if you are able to make it to the River Runners Christmas party on Sunday 9th December, 12:30pm at Peter's place in Box Hill. We'll supply the food and drinks, we just want your company. (When you rsvp I'll send you the address).

See you down by the hut.
