2015 saw the inaugural Wonderland Run in my home turf, The Grampians National Park. Now because I’m a local I decided to volunteer for the event, as I can run the tracks at any time. Sure I might not get a medal, but that’s ok with me. The Wonderland Run has 3 events on offer, which ran […]
This week’s handicap run was the 8km Stawell Toyota handicap held out in the Stawell Ironbarks. The sub juniors were off first. The course for the subbies was different to that of last years event. This year it was a downhill start with an uphill finish. I ran with Miles just so I could monitor […]

In the car driving to Horsham, I felt all sleepy and warm, and really had little enthusiasm to run the club race. I went in with ZERO expectations. I just wanted to run and survive. Run and survive I did. Horsham is flat, and having run and won this course last year, I knew what […]

This weeks run was a combined race with the SACCC (Ararat Run Club), and so it was held on Sunday at 10am. I must admit it was nice to […]
One thing I really love about the SAAC is that every week it’s a new course. Even comparing the courses from last year they are different. This particular run was in Horsham along the river. Last year when I did this particular run, it was 1. the 1st time I ever ran 8km straight without walking […]
Matilda Iglesias called on key elements of her limited race experience to score a clever win over rookie Richard Clarke in blustery conditions at Horsham Weir last Saturday. In the eight kilometre Horsham Little Aths Handicap, Matilda, already a winner over 5 and 6.5 kilometres in just 18 months of racing, had a five second […]
