Following two trail runs, the PCCCT – Running Club returns to the roads this week with the running of the Somerset Pharmacy ten-kilometre handicap at Somerset.
The out-and-back course starts by the Cam River and climbs the Murchison Highway to Back Cam Road and then continues on that hilly route until the half way mark.
This is the longest and toughest run of the season to date but with four runs under their belts, members should be ready to take on the challenge
This looks like a good opportunity for one of the newer Club members in Ross Smith.
Smith only had one run with the Club last year – the challenging half-marathon – when he finished a very good ninth off a tough mark. He has returned in great form this year, with a fifth at Wivenhoe and a fourth at Port Sorell. He won’t need to improve much to take this out.
Felicity Lovatt also looks to have a very strong chance. She will be well suited to this course and has been doing some big kilometres since returning from a long break with injury.
However, there is a group of runners who have been close in most of the early season runs, including Ben Young, Ben Brockman, Ellen Burgess and Steven Tammens, and any could win without surprising.
Entries must be made online at www.pccct.org and close 6:00pm Friday with the race beginning at 9:30. New runners are always welcome.
There will be a nominated time event at 9:00.
