Race 10 – Wilkinsons’ 5km at Hellyer College

Race 10 of The Professional Cross Country Club season features the second of the trail run series.

The Wilkinson’s Pharmacy five kilometre handicap is a two lap race in the park at the back of Hellyer College.

Most members will be hoping that the rain stays away this week so the track doesn’t become slippery and muddy. However, regular trail runners will be hoping those conditions prevail as they handle them well.

Ewen Troughton ran a great fifth in the first trail run held four weeks ago. Four of the athletes in finished in front of him have since been rehandicapped for wins and this will give Troughton an undeniable chance to break the tape first.

Others who showed great form in that race were Jason Fehlberg and Jonathon Cahill. Both must be given a show on Sunday as must Troughton’s brother, Isaac, who no doubt would love to beat his sibling.

Ron Chequer looks the best of the Frontmarkers, while Mary-Lou Troughton and Brett Riley will be hard to beat based on recent runs.
