Last Sunday three of our Tuesday evening runners ran the Sydney Marathon. They were Yuliia Chepiha, Lindsey Shing and Danny Trinh. Well done to all three.
Yuliia improved on her last year’s time by nearly 20 minutes and proudly wore her medal last night but wisely sat out last night’s run!

Thanks to Terry Kintominas for collating last night’s Path Run results at the Crest.

Last Saturday (22 August) the Australian Athletics Cross Country Championships were held in Ballarat on what was described as a very tough course, and, in wet and soggy conditions.
Casey Bugeja, one of our regular Tuesday evening runners competed in the under 14, 3 km event where she finished midfield in a time of 14 mins 16 secs after taking a tumble! Still a great effort Casey…..well done.
Another former Tuesday evening runner, and well known to our group, is Isla Bates. And what a great story this is. Isla won her Under 11, 2 km event in a time of 9 mins 05 secs. She is the National Cross Country champion in her age group. Congratulations Isla.

With persistent rain all afternoon the prospect of staging our evening run at the Crest would depend on who turned up. In the end only six turned up and it was decided to cancel our planned path run. Several hardy souls decided to take the opportunity to have a run in any case with Grace Kearney having a 1 km hit out and Timothy Molesworth and Lindsey Shing both notching up 5km on the track.

Thanks to Terry Kintominas for compiling these results from last night’s track run at the Crest.
