The 2022 PCCCT – Running Club season commences this Sunday with a 5km handicap at Wivenhoe.
The Club will conduct 26 races across the North West Coast from Stanley to Port Sorell over a range of distances and courses to challenge competitors but also allow beginners to find their feet.
Most races are between 5 and 10 kilometres but there are also longer, tougher runs with the Greg and Dianne Woodhouse Marathon – the longest continuously conducted marathon in Australia – to be held on May 29 while the Wynyard-Burnie Feature Race, will be held as the last race on September 11.
Last year team relays were run in conjunction with both the marathon and half-marathon for the first time and were every popular so they have been retained and a new 4 by 5km relay has been added.
Most races are run on quiet country roads and or/paths but there are also some trail runs for those who prefer off road courses.
Races take place on Sunday mornings, with most starting at 9:30.
They are all handicapped which allows for runners of all abilities to be in with a chance of crossing the line first and taking home the prize money, trophy and sash.
The popular nominated time events return and these 2 to 4 kilometre events will be held thirty minutes before the main races. These provide a run for those under 15, the threshold age for the handicapped events, or any runners just preferring a shorter event.
Membership registrations and race entries must be done on-line at www.pccct.org where the full programme and further information can be found. New members are always welcome.
