Run 698

The 22nd of December was the final run for 2024 and we had 10 starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra on a slightly cloudy, 13 degree morning. Many thanks to Jozica for once more doing the time-keeping duties.

In keeping with tradition, we started the run as a mass start to finish the season, and I won't put up the place getters until the winners are announced early next year.

As there were ten runners, we did have a random number draw for the socks which this week went to the third runner after handicaps were added, meaning that Dave was the winner this week.

With no run between Christmas and New Year, the first run of the new season will be on Saturday 4 January with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

Run 697

It was a beautiful temperature for the seven runners who took part in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this morning. Many thanks to Jozica for coming along to do the time-keeping duties today.

Everybody took off early today so the handicaps were added in after the event. Once the handicaps were accounted for, it was Dave who took out the win again today as he continues to run well this season. Second place went to Tony, only seconds ahead of Adrienne. Atsuko was just behind them in fourth place with Nada taking out fifth position today. Paul and James were the last two runners over the line.

There was one personal best time recorded this week: congratulations to Dave for taking another 12 seconds off his PB. Nobody else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week will be the final run for this season as we don't have a run between Christmas and the New Year. The run will be on Sunday 22 December (there is one more Christmas market) with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

Our first run of the new year will be on Saturday 4 January, 2025.

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

Run 695 and 696

Run 695

There were seven starters in the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte this morning. Thanks to Atsuko for doing the time-keeping duties before going for her run afterwards. 

Dave was the first runner home today, ahead of Adrienne in second place. Atsuko took out third position with Paul in fourth. Harrison was further back and came in fifth and James and Jozica were the last runners over the line this week.

Nobody managed a personal best time for their chosen distance, and no-one was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Run 696

There were seven runners starting again this week in the run. Many thanks to Jozica for coming along and doing the time-keeping duties today.

Dave was again the first runner home this week, just seconds ahead of Renee. Alex took out third place just ahead of Atsuko. James was the fifth person over the line, with Nada and Paul being the last runners to finish.

Dave was the only runner to run a new personal best time, beating his previous 3 km record by 11 seconds. Renee was within 15 seconds of her PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 14 December with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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