Run 487

There were 15 starters for the run along the banks of the Yarra today. Thanks to Jacinta for continuing to do the time-keeping duties even though she is not running.

There were two competitors who walked the 2 km distance today: Paul and Margaret. In the longer distances, it was Monica who was over the line first this morning, only one second ahead of Matthew, with Peter not far off in third place. Kieran was in fourth place ahead of Cormick and Tony. James was seventh over the line ahead of Adrienne. Rachel beat Nada in for ninth place, and Jon, Jozica and Mark were the last runners over the line today.

No-one managed to run a Personal Best time this morning, but Monica was within 15 seconds of her 4 km PB.

We have decided to hold off on the earlier starts until after the school holidays which will also line up with the Daylight Savings change over so next week the run will be on Saturday 28 September at 7:30 am.

We are wanting to hold a breakfast after the run on Saturday November 9 to celebrate another successful year for the River Runners. More details to follow, but put the date into your diaries!

We have also reinstated the "sock draw" for when we have more than 10 runners in a weekend. A random number is picked and the person who is in that line on the Weekly Results will win a pair of sports socks. Today's number was 3, meaning Peter wins the socks for this week.

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