The final race of the season is this Sunday, the Sea Lyons Swim School 6km handicap. The course is out-and-back from West Beach. The flat course will see some fast times, particularly as runners who have not been successful in 2016 will realise this is the last chance for a win this year.
Following his excellent second last week, Ricky Brown should start favourite. Brown has been in excellent form and was one of the strong fancies for the Feature race until he injured himself in training the week prior.
A steadily improving Chris Purton will be another strong chance. He surprised with an excellent run last week.
Club president, Barry Ling, holds the record for the most runs with the club (1100+) but it is a long time since his last win. Recent efforts, though, indicate that he might take this one out and would be a very popular winner.
Bec O’Garey, who is often the fastest female, is another who will be looking to finish the season on a high.
The club will provide a barbecue following the event, for members and their families.
