The Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania heads to Spreyton this week for the Spreyton Cider 5km handicap.

This is the third in the series of four trail runs. The course will take competitors on an out and back course through apple and cherry orchards and on country tracks. The off-road runs have proven very popular and a large field is expected.

This looks the perfect race for Alan Bakes. The septuagenarian showed some good form last week with an excellent second. He would not have to improve much to take this out.

However, these shorter races are generally hotly contested and there are a host of other chances.

Tobin Mason is a young runner who ran a great fourth last race and looks well suited. Liz Murton could fly the flag for the women while Dane Febey is getting fitter and could surprise.

The contests for fastest times look to be at the mercy of Lyn Saint-John and Brad Taylor for the women and men respectively.

Entries close at 9:30 with the race commencing at 10:00am

Nominated time events will be held at 9:10.
