One of the popular lunchtime runs is the BBQ Stakes, an undulating 6k run every Wednesday lunchtime, starting and finishing at Woden town centre.
It has the best handicap system I have encountered. (Although you cannot eliminate “burglars” altogether; one of the very well known burglars in Vets runs it regularly.)
It runs in reverse on the first Wednesday of the month (see profile below), which is also Team Challenge day, and the normal (clockwise) direction on other Wednesdays.
Course profile. Reverse is my favourite direction, although some runners feel it is harder that way.

Some of the geese are regulars, including myself. For the record, this year’s results include:
