Members of the Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania will head to Devonport for their next race this Sunday.
The Molly Malone’s 6 kilometre handicap is a popular run as it takes a course along Victoria Parade to the Bluff and return via the climb up to the Bluff Lighthouse. Being mostly flat and also scenic, a big field is expected.
Following her great effort to run second in a tougher race last week, Kelly Baxter will start favourite. Baxter has been consistent all year but shown improvement in recent weeks.
Anna Murton is another of the female runners who is getting close to victory and it could be this week.
This is Alan Bakes’ home territory and the veteran could easily take it out. He was a very close third last week.
Other with strong chances include Owen Britt, who put in a great effort last week, Dwayne Barry, Matthew Greenhill and Patrick McMullen. The backmarkers look to have their work cut out, with Brad Taylor probably their best chance.
Runners should note the later time for entries this week of 10:00 with the race starting at 10:30.
There will be a nominated time event at 9:45 to which all are welcome.
