Six Foot Track 2011

Six Foot Track Entry Postponement
Dear all prospective 6Ft’ers,I know many people are waiting anxiously for the 1st December, but Iam truly sorry to announce that I have decided to delay the opening ofentries for one week, until Wednesday 8th December 2010 at 9am Sydneytime.Our online entry providers have not yet met our complex requirementsyet, and despite being assured that it will be ready to go live onWednesday, I feel it is better to announce a postponement now, ratherthan Tuesday, so that everyone can have more time to make alternatearrangements.I hope that everyone understands that our goal is not only to get aworking online entry system, but one that needs to be testedthoroughly to ensure that everyone can understand the system.I will keep you abreast of developments later in the week, and if youknow of anyone else asking you about 6FT please ask them to subscribeto the newsletter, check the website or even read the newsletter viathe link on the website.Colin JefthaRD- Six Foot Track MarathonBlue Mountains, NSW, Australiahttp://au.mc572.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=raceorganiser@sixfoot.comhttp://www.sixfoot.com/

45km of pleasure & pain

Customs Joggers handicap Run 26 th November 2010

This was a mild and partly cloudy day. There were 28 starters, but one, Kris, did not record a time. We used our normal course, by the non-existent toilet block. There was a small swamp just before the finish.

Welcome to new starters Amalie Skjoctt and Kris from Denmark - apparently Princess Mary has recommended our run to them – Bill Arthur – Bill is from Wagga but takes part in a number of Canberra runs – Bernie Benedictos, Jamie Roberts and Anna Thompson, returning after a long absence. Also, welcome back to Nathan Williamson for a second run.

Congratulations to Pam for completing a 100 mile run in New Zealand.

In the above results, Chris Vincent was first eligible but generously declined a prize. As we had a good number of starters, three prizes are awarded this week to Peter Clarke, Ratna and Hugh Ford. All will receive prizes of Runners Shop vouchers or socks next week.

Many thanks also to Nick Walshe and the Runners Shop for the prizes of socks and vouchers.

Also thanks to Doug for holding the clock.

A reminder of our Christmas celebration next Friday 3 December. Mike will again provide food and drinks. We will have a pack run that day, commencing at about 12:25. No handicapping or prizes for place getters this week, but there will be a few barrel draws. We will meet at the shelter shed near the car park in Commonwealth Park.

This week was the nineteenth and last week of the point score competition. Results are eagerly awaited and will also be announced next week, with prizes for the winners.

Runners are asked to bring two dollars to help cover the cost of food and drinks.

New Canberra Running Club

Dear ACTCCC Members

Many of you may be aware from announcements made at the ACTCCC AGM and at recent ACTCCC events that a new running club called the Canberra Running Club Inc has been established. In 2011 the CRC will take over the running program that would have normally been provided by the ACTCCC.

A group of well known Canberra runners took it upon themselves sometime ago to establish this new incorporated body. Now that the ACTCCC is definitely being wound up this new organization is very active in establishing the infrastructure needed to take over the some 90 events that the ACTCCC has been conducting annually for many years. The ACTCCC committee believes that this new club will be expertly managed and will have the capacity and expertise to deliver the types of activities that the ACTCCC has delivered to Canberra runners.

It was announced at the conclusion of the ACTCCC spring series run on Tuesday that the new club is now in a position to take memberships for 2011 and is encouraging runners to become a foundation member of this new club.

The ACTCCC committee would like to pass on contact details (i.e. name and address) but not personal details to the new club so that they may contact you directly with further information, including details about membership. If you do not wish your contact details to be passed on then please advise us by 3 December 2010 (http://au.mc572.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=secretary@canberrarunner.com.au). We would like to encourage all our members to support this new club as it is important to demonstrate the resilience of the Canberra running community and its important for the new club to have your support as soon as possible so that it has the resources to deliver events from early 2011.

Last Rites Run this Sunday Apology for clash of dates.

Good Morning All,The last rites run will take place in Stromlo Forest this Sunday at 9am. The start is in the corner of Cotter Road /Urriara Road,Due to the lack of parking in this area, runners could park at Stromlo Forest Park and run across. This is also a good option for those wishing to undertake a long training run before crossing to the last rites jog.A very small loop has been provided in the designated area and we ask runners to keep to this loop. Major construction is being under taken in all areas outside the loop and it is dangerous to be in these areas. So please do not run in any areas of Stomlo Forest under construction except for the marked loop. Contractors and companies are aware of Sundays event and have worked with the ACT Government to allow us in on Sunday.We apologies for the late notice and clash of dates with ACT Vets and other events. This day and date was set by the ACT Government as the only possible date as the area is now closed for development.There is still plenty of running space on the other side of Stomlo, or in Blewitts and at Narrabundah Hill.Cheers,Ken Eynon

BBQ Stakes 24th November 2010

First across the line today was Steve Smith, closely followed by Bob Harlow, and then Matthew Murphy. Bob was given hopes of a placing, but then realised he was not eligible.

46 ran today, some being absent after the triple tri over the weekend, cycling running or swimming or cominations of those activities.

Terry Levings crossed the line at 40:25, then Matthew Murphy at 40:26, followed by Roland Sherwood at 40:55.

I think Terry Levings was the winner, but will be unable to carry out duty next week, so has arranged a replacement timekeeper already.

John Barrett should get his 700 th T-Shirt next week. He travels quite a distance every week to compete in this event.

It is 8 years since Kerrie Tanner commenced in the BBQ Stakes.

She is not consistently under 30 minutes yet, but puts in a good run every week, she was in the top ten this week, I think.

BBQ Stakes Wednesday 10th November 2010

A huge crowd, thought to be a record for an ordinary mid-week run turned up today.

Gabrielle and Tim Wright had not attended for yonks, but were there in all their splendour.

Gabrielle was one of the earliest women to receive a commemorative T-Shirt, possibly on her 200 th Run.

Tim of course in a soccer shirt. They have moved closer to Woden now, so may be able to attend more often.

They are both known for their contributions to the Monthly Jogalong, Gabrielle for Jogalong Jottings and Tim for his help with the 3 km event.

The Runners Shop was represented by Brian Wenn and Nick Walshe, Nick being the back marker and running the fastest on the day.Winner was Stuart Stockwell with 62 runs and 2 wins with a P.B of 30:30.

Galvin Lee and Matthew Murphy were second and third over the line. (To be confirmed when I get a copy of the full results.

Garry Bowen brought his brother and wife to the location, but they went shopping at the plaza.
