Well done all Runners in todays race at The Trend Shed Port Sorell 7k Handicap.
Well Done to Steven Tammens who won from Paul Birch, Darlene Jacques, Troy Reader and Dominic Troughton
The course starts at the Romaine Reserve carpark adjacent to the BBQ area. Runners follow the reserves gravel pathway in an anticlockwise direction until they reach the start of the Mount Street link path. Here runners turn right onto the link path and continue for another 400m. The course then turns left onto the fence line track, heading back into the reserve for approx. 700m until the Havenview link path. Here runners will do a hard right U turn, through the guard rails and onto the forestry fire track on the opposite side of the fence. The course follows the fire track southwest 1.5km, with runners staying true to the track. Runners will then turn right at the T intersection, then right again at the next T intersection as they approach the truck route. Here runners will complete a 300m out and back section around a turn marker, before continuing along the fire track adjacent to the truck route. Approx 1km down the track the course will perform a large “U” between the truck route and the reserve fence line tracks. Runners then continue another 1km along the truck route track, crossing over the Havenview link track, before following the track left towards the reserve. The course then turns left back onto the reserve gravel pathway, before turning right over the footbridge and finishing where the course started.

The meeting place is at the Spreyton Cider Co on Melrose Road. However, the start will be in the big paddock across Sheffield Road where we have started in recent years. Please be careful crossing Sheffield Road. The course is the same as 2021.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT do your warm-up on Sheffield Road. Use the paddock or the area around the cidery.
Run straight up the paddock to Jowetts Lane and turn left. Follow the road (stay on the left) until a finger directs you left into an orchard where you will run straight ahead.
Follow the fingers and arrows which will take you through the cherry orchard, turn left and head down Pilgrims Road where you will be directed behind the apple shed. Complete the marked loop and rejoin your path out which will take you back to the start/finish.
The presentations will be at the Spreyton Cider Co

This week there are two events being conducted concurrently over the same course – the Greg & Dianne Woodhouse Marathon and the Ayers Orchards “Terry Watson Memorial” Marathon Teams’ Race.
It is a two lap out and back course. The races start at the Ulverstone Cricket Club in River Road, West Ulverstone. The course heads east along River Road to the Ulverstone Bridge, under and across the bridge, down past the wharf precinct to Otto’s Grotto and onto Fairway Park walking track to Buttons Creek and along Beach Road to the Ulverstone/Turners Beach coastal pathway . Runners follow the pathway to Turners Beach and then along The Esplanade to the turn which is beside the Forth River where there will be another drink station. Please stay on the sea side of the Esplanade going in both directions. This is where the second and fourth teams’ runners will commence their runs. Runners follow the exact same course back to the Ulverstone Cricket Club. This will be the halfway point for the marathon competitors and where the third leg teams’ runners will commence.
Runners, both individual and teams’ runners, are asked to provide their own drinks in clearly marked containers – either their name or race number. These can be left at the start/finish and will be transported to the drink station.
Runners are also reminded that they should not be paced either by another runner not in the race or someone on a bike or other device. In the event of any pacing the runner or teams risk disqualification.
Post-race presentations will take place in the Ulverstone Cricket Club clubrooms. There will be soup served post-race. There are toilet and shower facilities available.
