Coburg Fun Run and Walk | results |

Due to flooding along creek, the Fun Run was conducted on our old road course (up Golf Road, down Newlands Road, along Murray Road, up Elizabeth Street and Boyne Street) and then into the track. Course is 4 km per circuit so 12 km runners completed 3 loops of the course. 6km runners completed 1.5 loops of the course finishing at the bridge on Murray Road. Due to the hillier course; times are slower than normal.  Well done to all competitors, see you at the next fun run.

Coburg Bluestone Classic, Saturday Afternoon | RESULTS | - tough Cross Country and Trail Running - Hill Course around Coburg Parklands a few don't make it home from this one :-)

Course Overview:

Run begins with a gentle 3KM (7 laps) of the Harold Stevens Athletic Centre Track, then you exit the track and head south along the creek towards the swinging bridge, some easy hills along the way - excellent place to establish a good pace, turn just before the bridge and head back to the track. Good chance to see where other runners are at. Do one lap of the track for 7KMs completed. 

For the brave, it's back out of the track after a 400 metre loop and onto the brutal Coburg Harriers Cross Country Course, you will cross a small wooden bridge and head toward the Coburg Lake, before the lake you turn right along the rear of the houses through the parkland, the thick grass wants to suck your legs down.  Next is a long climb to the top of Kodak hill, no time for views here, on along the fence line, the track is sloped the weak or unweary may slip here. At this stage you are thinking, great ... done enough when do I head back to the track.

Not yet!  You now proceed down and under the Kodak bridge and up the most brutal of hills, a leg breaker, (ignore the memorials to failed attempts on left) you have got to lean forward and just work - keep a bit in reserve however.  Once at the top it's a small circuit around and back under the Kodak bridge across a small wooden bridge and around a power pylon and more hills up to behind the Harold Stevens Athletic Centre Track, it's a cruel sight seeing the 7KM finishers relaxing back talking about their efforts. 

On you go back into the track and guess what?  You have to do it all again!  Told you to take it easy on those hills, if not you are going to pay for it.  This is a wonderful challenging run and strips you down to what Cross Country running is all about that personal battle between you and your environment.  Coburg Harriers have lots of marshalls on course and if it's wet Cross Country spikes may be a good option.  If you are a keen runner you have got to have this run on your resume.     And yes it is a fun run afterall so take it easy.
