Railton is the venue this Sunday for the penultimate race of the season as members of the PCCCT – Running Club compete in the Anvers Chocolate ten-kilometre handicap.
The course is a circuit, starting at Goliath Park, and is affectionately described as flat with one hill. However, that one hill, is a long and high one and presents a good challenge.
This is the final race before the major race of the season – the Wynyard to Burnie Feature Race – and, as is traditional, the victor will not receive a penalty for winning until the end of the season. Therefore, competitors can go all-out knowing a win will not affect their handicap for the “big one” the following week.
Jean-Christophe Bonneville is a first year Club runner and has impressed win the few runs he has had. He was a close second a couple of weeks ago and will be very hard to beat this time as the extra distance will suit him better.
Backmarker Andrew Winkel was a great sixth last week at Turners Beach and will be a top chance to break the tape as the course will suit him perfectly.
Other good chances look to be Lyn Saint-John, Gerard Lowry, who trains on this course, Ben Young and David Murton.
Entries will close at 6:00pm on Friday, with the race starting at 9:30. New runners are always welcome with information available at www.pccct.org. A nominated time event will be conducted at 9:00.
