Customs Joggers Run 3rd December

Friday 3 December was our Christmas celebration and announcement of the winner of the point score competition for the second half of 2010. Congratulations to John Anderson, a quiet and consistent performer through the last six months or so. John timed his runs well, not being able to run today through having a tooth removed. Hopefully, John’s win will ease the pain. John will have his name engraved on our prestigious trophy.

The final results in the point score competition were:

John Anderson 663

Richard Marson 649

Tony Olliffe 637

Mike Stracey 636

Kevin O’Keeffe 610

Simon Claringbold 600

The first three place getters received prizes selected by Mike , including wine, chocs, knives and Runners Shop vouchers. Mike also received a prize for having completed more runs than anyone else but missing out on net points.

Thanks to Mike for providing food and drinks and prizes, to Anna O’Keeffe for organising, for Simon for announcing winners and to those Customs Joggers who came along and had a run on a slightly wet day that was actually good for running.

Thanks also to Nick Walshe and the Runners Shop for providing voucher prizes and socks throughout the year.

For this week, those who came will be given a time of 36 minutes and credited with a run, with no change to handicaps. Let me know if I have missed anyone from the attached list.

Next Customs Joggers Run will be Friday 10 December 2010 at 12:15 pm over our traditional course from where the toilet block used to be in Commonwealth Park. This will not be a point score competition but handicapping will continue and prizes of Runners Shop vouchers and socks will again be available for the first two eligible finishers on the day. Usual charge of $1 will apply.



There will also be a run on Friday 17 December, but then a break on Fridays 24 and 31 December, resuming in 2011 on Friday 7 January 2011. A new point score competition will begin on Friday 4 February 2011.
