A lovely autumn afternoon was experienced as runners and walkers lined up for week 4 event.
For some reason the 1k was very popular as 15 boys and girls made it around the course, enjoying. themselves, which is the main aim of the activity.
However the first two across the finish managed to set 2 Best on Record times. First home was Layla Burbage setting a good time for 10 year girls 1k of 4:20. Hot on her heels was Eddie Parnell also setting a new time for 9yrs boys 1k Best on Record of 4:27.
The 2k event was rather light on for numbers but a 9 year old visitor from Wollongong area, Jacob Dowler and 10 year old Francis Peabody both ran very well and clocked good times. Apologies to Francis who also set a boys 10 years Best on Record time in Week 2 clocking 10.07 for the 2k.
Improvers of the Week
The 1k Distance is Lilliana Corsaro who managed to improve by close to a minute. Well done.
2k distance for the second week in a row, Bronwyn Coulston managed to improve her time again. This also applies to our 3k distance improver Anthony Corsaro who reduced his best time by another 30 seconds.
Families certainly featured this week as 4k distance improvers Laura Burbage and Dan Peabody also lowered their times for the 1 lap event. Well done everyone.
As school holidays are concluding we look forward to a few more members returning home for Week 5 on Saturday 22nd. Remember there is no ‘cut off’ time for new families and individuals interested in joining us. Turn up at Willandra around 2.30pm for a 3.00pm start of all distances.
