YCRC - Major Changes to the Winter Series

Due to declining numbers at our Winter Series Events, the club has decided to try a new format for the first half of the Winter Series, from Apr 27 to July 6.  During this period, all races will be held on Saturday mornings at Stromlo Forest Park, as per the timetable below.  The race format is particularly designed to prepare school kids for the school cross-country championships, though there are 3 & 5k events for adults too.  For the remainder of the Winter Season, races will return to the usual venues and times (noon - 1pm). If the Stromlo venue is unavailable for any of these dates, the race will be moved to Yarralumla oval.  

The exception to this is the weekend of May 18-19, when the club will hold its annual Half Marathon weekend at the usual venue of Lennox Gardens.

If you have any comments on this proposed format, please let the club know by sending an email to: admin.ycrc@ymca.org.au

Training at Stromlo under smoky skies

Let's hope there is no smoke tonight at the track.

The YCRC events look good, even though this heat will give way to chilly winter temperatures on Saturday mornings by July.

But I would sooner run in the cold than in the heat.
