The final Premiership Round of the XC season is on this Saturday at Runnymede. Head towards Orford, and when you see the "Welcome to Glamorgan - Spring Bay" sign, as shown in the comments, slow down, as it is the first driveway on the left after that sign. (Sign shown in comments)Please remember that it is NOT the Runnymede in New Town 🙂The following Saturday is the Froggy Wise Memorial at Green Point, and this is your last opportunity to volunteer for an Eastern Suburbs duty Club role. We know there are lots of you who have been waiting to do this one, instead of the first 4, so please let us know 🙂The Saturday’s cross-country run is the Jenny Lennon Memorial at Runnymede with a choice of 5km (two laps) or 10km (four laps). It is a superb cross country course covering farmland and rough undulating trails.The venue is Whitemarsh, 4682 Tasman Highway, Runnymede (on the left if heading towards Orford).TMA have duty club responsibilities. ...

Get the trail shoes out for tomorrow as we head south for a true cross country course at Huntingfield Pony Club.Just remember this is the pony club, not the estate, so continue down the highway towards Margate and turn left after North West Bay Golf Club (unless your surname is Webb, in which case turn right before the Golf Club 🙂 )Tomorrow’s Interclub Cross Country is in the Peter Murrell Reserve, with options of 5.3km or 10.6km.The course has a bit of everything, with sand trails, gravel tracks and the odd muddy in section.TMA have set up duties, with a start time of 10am at the Huntingfield Pony Club (access off Howden Road). ...

Great news from the Hobart City Council, with a defib being installed at the Domain Athletic Centre.Please note the code in the (hopefully) unlikely event you ever need to access it; C 1 2 3If you were at the Domain last night, you may have noticed that the City of Hobart have installed a defibrillator which, hopefully, will never be needed.In the event it is needed, it is located on the mountain end of the grandstand, next to the accessible toilet.Access to it has been made very easy, it has a 1 letter, 3 digit code.Beacuse a lot of athletes have trouble remembering their bib number, when it is attached to their chest, it has been made very simple. It is C 1 2 3This is fantastic, and don't forget there is also always a defib at the finish line during our competitions, and there is also another one in the Function Centre.Huge thanks to the HCC for installing this life saving deviceSandy Bay Harrier Club OVA Southern Saints Athletics Club Northern Suburbs Athletic Club Tasmanian Masters Athletics Eastern Suburbs UTAS Athletics Club Hobart Districts Little Athletics Centre Inc ...
