This Sunday the Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania heads to the Devonport Bluff for two races – the Devonport Mazda Front Markers five kilometre handicap and the Simons Design Centre Back Markers five kilometre handicap.
The course covers four laps around Meercroft Park and provides excellent spectator viewing.
The Front Markers’ race could be fought out by Kelly Baxter, Ann Horton and Ricky Brown. All three have been close up recently and are in top form. While Baxter finished in front of the other two last week, the shorter distance will really suit Brown while Horton is getting better with each run.
Others with a strong chance include Steve Powell and Anna Murton.
Simon Gates ran brilliantly last week and should start favourite in the Back Markers. His biggest danger will be Greg Smith, although Troy Reader and Keegan Powell will be challenging strongly in the last lap.
Young runners Ewen Troughton and Hayden Bishop will also be looking to break the tape first.
The Front Markers race will be held first, beginning at 10:00 with all entries closing at 9:30. New members are always welcome.

Liane Hanson won the Frontmarkers. The Backmarkers was cancelled due to unsafe conditions with the lightning.
