This Sunday the PCCCT – Running Club will conduct split division races at Meercroft Park Devonport.
Until last year, the event has been split into Frontmarkers and Backmarkers. However, last year saw the races run by gender which proved very popular and has been retained for 2022.
Split division races events are very popular with runners because as well as competing in one event, they get to watch the other.
The course is a flat, fast, four lap one on the road around Meercroft Park. and this also makes them great viewing for spectators.
The Ketelaars Male Five-kilometre Handicap will be run first at 9:30.
There are many men who have been close without winning lately and one who will be well suited here is Brendan Burr. After starting the season slowly, he has been getting closer each week and was not far away in finishing ninth last week.
He will be challenged strongly by Jordan Mathews, Steven Tammens and backmarker, Hayden Bishop.
Pat McMahon will also be a big chance to take a deserved win.
The Everyday Lions Female Five-kilometre Handicap will follow and should also be an exciting contest. Selina Crispin is favoured here. She won this event last year so proved the course suits her. She is back in winning form running a great sixth last week
Felicity Lovatt will be the hardest to beat while Lyn Saint-John, Rhian Miles and Anne Thomas will also be chances. Runners are reminded that entries are online only and close at 6pm Friday. New members are always welcome.
