The Young Ones 3.5km Hcp June

The 3.5km Hcp Race was created to cater for the young ones. This was never more apparent than in the June race. Four young ones in the top 10 fastest, 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th. 16yrs, 14yrs,12yrs, and 11yrs. Fastest male, Dominic, includes an age course record 1st outright also. Sapphire Fastest Female 11yrs.

Our oldest in the race was 86yrs. Number of runners/walkers 75.

The photos were taken about three kilometres into the race, where the faster runners catch the early starters... but not always :o).

The race showed that we have some very impressive young people, and that our Handicap system demonstrated that, even if you are not the fastest, if you improve your personal run times, you can be a winner.

Whether it is the Weather ??
Whether it is the weather ?? Does the weather play a part in people having a good run time?? Well, last Saturday it was "cold", 5.1 degrees (by most people's definition). Sixty-five Runners.
We had one male age course record, 12 PBs, and 27 Best times this Year. Not a scientific analysis, but most concluded that it was a good day for running( once you got over the shock of getting out of bed).
"The Dominator" Dominic Osborne, a PB of 2m47s, 38m 29s(sub 40mins) a new course record for 13-15 y.o Male. Impressive because it follows continuous improvements in his run times , not by seconds but by significant margins (by minutes). Wow.

Our Handicap Winners demonstrate that everyone has a chance of winning if you improve your times.
1st Daniel Illingworth best time since Aug 2025, 2nd Christian Marevich a massive 3m 36s improvement over last month and Belinda Hanover, 3rd, a best time since August 2025. Well done.

Credit must be given to those who mustered a smile when being photographed going up a difficult hill, "Out the Back".

WINNERS
1. Daniel ILLINGWORTH 55:18 - best time since Aug'25
2. Christian MAREVICH 1:19:071. 2nd - pb by 3m 36s (May'26)
