BY DOT BROWNE

The Puma Great Otway Classic was the brainchild of reporter John Craven. His concept of a 3-day relay race using 7 teams of top male athletes, and held over a tough hilly course through the Otway Ranges crystal­ lised 8 years ago. Puma became its major sponsor, pouring thousands of dollars into the event. Puma completely outfits every team and crew with a complete set of running gear, and this year, provided a record $20,000 in prize money incentives. The relay begins at Geelong and finishes at one of Victoria’s most scenic seaside resorts, Lome, on the Great Ocean Road. It covers a distance of 315.4km and is run on the Queen’s Birthday weekend in June. The course was chosen because of its publicity potential, toughness, beauty, safety and availability of accommodation. There are 7 teams, and each team has 7 runners. Initially 56 entries are accepted and these are seeded from 1 - 56 depending upon the runners’ best recent 10K times. Team captains are appointed from the entries and these captains and non-running managers meet together to select a final field of 49, that is, 7 teams of 7 runners of graded ability. This year, the entry of more top amateurs into the Classic has lifted the standard of competition once again. Lowest seeded No. 7 runners must now be able to run around 33-34 mins for 10K to qualify for a start. There were 6 veterans in this year’s race, the oldest of them being Melbourne to Sydney winner, Geoff Molloy, 44 years. After this year’s race, only one of the 39 previous records was still intact.

The road has a concrete way of making its presence felt. For those of you who would like to significantly soften the blows, we strongly recom­ mend the New Balance 470. The 470 is the latest in a category of New Balance training shoes notedf for their cushioning properties. What gives the 470 its unique cushioned reel is a midsole/wedge made of newly developed highly visco elastic EVA—a material that WIDTH provides I AVAILABLE IN WIDTHS FOR A \ MORE PERFECT FIT 1 'ft-****#*'*''* ~ - exceptional spring and bounce. Built SIZING into the heel of the shoe is a horse­ shoe made of firmer EVA. This design allows your heel to seat itself more securely. And to make sure that the 470 provides countless miles of running satisfaction, we've employed a counter reinforcer to prevent rear shoe break­ down and a long-wearing carbon rubber outersole. So before you take on the long hard road again, do yourself a favour. Put on a pair of 470's.
