A tough task lies in wait for members his week as the PCCCT heads to Burnie for the Paine Family Memorial ten-kilometre handicap.
Members will meet at the McKenna Park Hockey Complex ready for a start on Three Mile Line and will complete a circuit taking in the many hills of Mooreville and West Mooreville Roads.
Although it is a challenging course, it is very popular with runners wishing to test themselves over the classic distance
Now the season is half completed, most runners are at peak fitness and will be looking to take out the victory.
Following a string of top runs while showing continued improvement, Adrian Mann will be a top chance on a course that will suit him. His best result this year has been a third in a tough event at Fernglade, He has consistently finished in the top ten, including last week at the Arboretum when he was eighth.
Tom Murton will start from the back mark but has the form to pass every runner and break the tape. The hills won’t worry him at all.
Others with strong chances are Josh Febey, Sam and Felicity Lovatt, while Nigel Baptist and Ellen Burgess can’t be discounted.
Entries close on Friday at 6pm with the race starting at 9:30.
This week also sees the running of the nominated time “Feature Race” to be held at 9:00 with extra prizes provided by the Paine Family.
