People may not know it, but our ACT chief minister Jon Stanhope was one of the people responsible for launching a women's only event, the jogalong, in Canberra many years ago.
When it first began, the race used to start at Deek's Drive, and years later the start was moved to Deek's Forest Park, although the run was on roughly the same course down to the river and back in Stromlo forest.
After the bushfires of January 2003, the venue moved to its present location at Weston Park.
Our training group has many women members who are regular participants in the jogalong. Here are their Personal Best times for the Weston Park course only. I have included Carol Ey because she used to be part of the group way back in time!

Helen last spring - we welcomed Helen back from her travels abroad at February's jogalong.
Over two hundred women and girls competed in the three jogalong events on Sunday. A great turnout, indicative of how good this event is, and how well it is organised. I will publish some times for that event here.... when they become available.
