The PCCCT heads to Gunns Plains this Sunday for the Kevin Burn Memorial 11 kilometre Handicap, sponsored by Michael and Sandra Wilson Petroleum and the Brown Family.
The race is usually run over a circular course covering both sides of the river but this year, as Marshalls Bridge was lost to the June floods, the course will be a simple out-and-back layout,
It is very flat and fast times are assured, especially as the winner will not be re-handicapped prior to the Feature Race the following weekend.
This looks to be a perfect race for Devonport runner Matthew Greenhill who has been close-up in numerous recent races. He finished seventh at Railton last week and fifth at Burnie the week before. A win would be just reward for his consistency.
Adrian Lakeland has been going under the radar while slowly getting closer. This week could see him break the ribbon.
Wayne Wiseman was getting close to a win before having a few weeks break from the club but ran a great race at Railton which showed he has retained fitness.
Sarah Hiller has also been improving and ran a great race in the Ironman to show the distance won’t be a problem. She should be first female to finish and could beat all the males as well.
The race starts at 10:00 with entries closing at 9:30. There will be nominated time events at 9:05.
