Run 511 and Vale Peter

There were 8 starters for the run/walk along the bans of the Yarra River this morning. Thanks to Jacinta for doing the timekeeping duties again this morning.

Walking the 2 and 3 km distances today were Jacinta and Adrienne. In the longer, handicapped distances Jon was first over the line, but came in before the 30 minute mark and was classed as breaking today. That left the win open for Jozica who was just ahead of Hayden and Atsuko. In fourth place was Nada and Tessa was last over the line today.

There was only one person who managed a personal best time today:
Well run Jon who took 48 seconds off his previous best time for the 6 km distance.

No one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 21 March at 7:00 am.

New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.



We are deeply saddened and devastated to learn of the passing of our dear friend and fellow runner, Peter.

We will all miss him and think of him at every run and every event. He was part of Warrandyte River Runners from the very beginning. He brought to the group incredible positivity, support and inspiration. He motivated us to achieve goals we thought we couldn’t. Our sincerest condolences to Deirdre and family.

Peter ran his first run with us on 5 April 2010, and clocked up 298 runs with the group as one of our most consistent runners over the past 10 years.

Rest In Peace Peter.
