The penultimate race of the PCCCT season to be run Sunday has had to be switched from Fernglade to the Penguin motocross track in Dial Road. The Motors 6 kilometre handicap will remain a trail run and the course will be different from that used at this venue earlier in the year.
This is the fourth and final run in the inaugural trail run series. Members have appreciated the chance to run on courses which are unsealed, and which have, on occasions, been very wet and muddy.
With only two races remaining this season, runners who have not won yet will be desperate to not let all the raining put in this year be in vain.
This should mean a close and exciting race, with perhaps a surprise winner.
Dwayne Barry, in his first year with the Club, has been showing a lot of promise finishing close to the winner in several races over all distances. He was fifth in last week’s half marathon, beaten just over a minute.
Tim Dowling was fifth in a similar race two weeks ago and should show up with a similar effort. Likewise, Rebecca O’Garey, who was just behind Dowling in eighth has been consistent and a win would be well deserved.
Other strong chances include Kim Steven, Rebecca Marien and Patrick McMullen.
