Run 599

This week saw five starters in the run on Sunday morning. Thanks to Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties.

First place this week was taken out by Jon, with Monica in second place. Paul managed to make it in third place ahead of Nada in fourth. Jacinta was the last runner over the line this week.

Nobody managed to run a personal best tie and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 24 December (yes, Christmas Eve) at 7:00 am. This will be the final run of the season and the 600th run for the Warrandyte River Runners. 

We intend to hold a celebration breakfast early in 2023 (most likely on Sunday 5 February) after the run to celebrate the 600 runs and 13 years that Warrandyte River Runners has been going. The first run of the River Runners was on Saturday 9 January 2010, and there has been a run on most weekends since that date. There have been over 220 people who have run with the group over that time.

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