Hey All,
Above is a calendar for some Long Sunday Runs, in build up to the Canberra Marathon on April 14. Starting next week (13th January 2013), though even if you’re not training for that you can still run! Apologies for late arrival of program!
The routes are relatively simple, but on the same token having done them all recently are in some parts relatively challenging. This is due to Sydney’s undulating topography.
Plus, having experienced Sydney’s glorious weather recently, the times have been revised somewhat. I.e. Start times are earlier. However, it is more about time on your feet, so have a look at route and distance and then gauge what Group you want to be in. I’ve sort of nominated the likely maximum time you’ll be out on your feet. As mentioned last year, there is a certain level of respect to your fellow members, so as not to prejudice their own running.
As for the mundane stuff, please have a look at the notes (especially keep an eye out for Cronulla) and the selection criteria. Similar to a job application, you must meet the essential and then try to meet desirable.
Finishing points shall be at the cafes, so if you’re not able to make the run or are on an alternate program, it would be great to hear and chat about it at the Finishing Café.
If anyone is keen to help your other members by doing some pacing and/or with the Bag Drop offs, please let me know!

Ps. I don’t get any commission for number attendance at Cafes or at runs that require entry fees (yet).
