It was a lovely morning for a run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra through Warrandyte today. There were six starters in the run and we thank Nada for running early and doing the time-keeping duties this week.

Margaret was the first runner home this week just ahead of Asuko. Dave took out third place with Jon in fourth position. Paul and Nada were the last runners over the line.

There were no personal best times recorded this week, but two runners were within 15 seconds of their PB, Well run to Margaret and Atsuko.

Next week the run will be on Sunday 8 June with the timer starting at 7:30 am.

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

There were four runners who showed up on another cold morning for the run along the banks of the Birrarung-Yarra this week. 

It was Nada who took out the win this week (her first win of this season), coming in ahead of Dave in second place. Atsuko was only three seconds behind him and Jozica was the last person over the line for her 3km walk.

Nobody managed a personal best time and nobody was within 15 seconds of their PB this week.

Run 718

There were five runners who took to the track along the banks of the river through Warrandyte this week in much warmer conditions (the car was registering 14 degrees when we arrived). Thanks to Atsuko and Dave for running early so that Atsuko could do the time-keeping duties.

After the handicaps were added onto the times (everyone decided to run off scratch and have handicaps added later) it was Atsuko who came in with her second win of the season. Dave came in just six seconds behind her with Margaret in third place. Nada took out fourth position and Paul was the last runner over the line.

Nobody ran a personal best time this week and nobody was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 31 May with the timer starting at 7:30am.

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