MEMBERSHIP FORM 92 Editorial September 2002 Publicity is always something the ultra world is seeking and it is not unreasonable to say that we are often on the backblocks of the sporting world in this area. Over the last few months, the staff at the office of Australian Runners World have been eagerly chasing information about Ultramarathons. Keep your eyes open for the Runners World magazine in the next few months for some great features. All being well, the ultra world will be a regular feature in Runners World. Publicity of this type is invaluable. A new committee and President were recently elected. Ian Cornelius has taken the job of President upon his return to Australia after a few years of infiltrating the locals of New Zealand!. Graham Ives takes on the Treasurers role. Graham, originally from England, is a recent arrival from South Africa and brings with him a wealth of experience in sports administration. A complete list of new committee members is included in this issue. At the recent World 100km Challenge, we had three representatives in Adam Barron, Tim Sloan and Warren Holst and they all flew the Aussie flag high. If only we could have got a women's team together, it would have capped things off nicely. It is interesting to see that over in the west in Bunbury, they have followed suit with Canberra in offering a 50km option with their annual marathon. This has proven in the past to be an excellent incentive to attract marathon runners to the longer distances. Speaking of "Longer Distances", In Denmark, Jesper Olsen has formed a group of five runners who will be tackling a "World Run"..... A total of 50,000km over five years from 2003 to 2008!! Also , at the time of writing, another edition of the Trans America Race was moving into its second half with a field of almost all Japanese runners. The gruelling Los Angeles to New York distance is run over 71 days. As is overwhelmingly normal, another huge contingent of Australians made the trip over to South Africa for the Comrades Marathon. 13,000 runners make this the most famous Ultramarathon in the world. With a degree of sadness, the Coburg 24 hour event is losing its energetic and invaluable publicity officer in Bev Carr. Bev always ensured that the print and electronic media made a presence at Coburg each year. Bev and her husband, John, have sold up and are moving to the gentle pace of life on the lakes of Gippsland to enjoy the fruits of a prosperous retirement. From sadness to tragedy ..... I have to report that Barbara Allen has lost her long battle with cancer. We had not seen much of Barbara over the last four years but during the 90s, Barbara and her devoted husband Peter were regulars at ultra events. They always ran together, were very devoted to each other and both were the nicest most decent people you could hope to meet. John Melnyckenko has written a tribute on page 22. Obviously, our sympathies are with Peter. Finally, I have to admit with a little embarrassment, that Tony Rafferty finally collared me for one of his interviews which I had been mindfully trying to avoid through various means for quite a while but, to be perfectly honest, on the day we met, the muffins were hot and fresh and the diet coke was flowing plentifully so I sure couldn't be unhappy about that! With a deal of self consciousness, the interview appears towards the rear of this issue. The AURA website can be found at www.ultraoz.com where the incomparable king of the Sydney Ultra Mafia and Fat Ass guru, Kevin Tiller, works more prolifically than a breeding rabbit as he tends to the task of keeping the web page up to date.

  • Iwalk 2016- Ifast Marching 6,045Km for Charity in Australia3
    Marching 6,045km for Charity in Australia iFAST Corp brought its largest ever contingent, consisting of 76 employees, wealth advisers and directors to Oxfam Trailwalker Brisbane, as part of its iWALK Initiative (“iFAST Wealth Advisers Lead Kindness Initiative”) What started as a challenge issued by a few extreme sports veterans in iFAST Corporation Ltd. (“iFAST Corp”) in 2011 quickly engulfed others who were new to this type of endurance sports. From sending one team of four employees in 2011 to tackle Hong Kong’ mountainous terrain as part of Oxfam Trailwalker, this year’s contingent from iFAST Corp to Oxfam Trailwalker Brisbane was its largest ever at a total of 76 walkers. Over the 17-19 June 2016 period, the 76 walkers achieved a magnificent feat of covering a total of 6,045km in Brisbane! This year, iFAST Corp decided to spread the joy and excitement over endurance sports to raise funds for charity with the wealth advisers using its Business-to-Business (B2B) platform. Over 5,500 wealth advisers from 170 financial advisory companies, financial institutions and banks use the B2B platform across iFAST Corp’s regional markets. A total of 76 walkers, including 40 wealth advisers and two directors from iFAST Corp’s board of directors took the leap of faith to travel to Brisbane, with many wanting to kill two birds with one stone: challenge themselves physically and mentally for an endurance event, and raise funds for the causes Oxfam Trailwalker supports. Oxfam Trailwalker Brisbane o ers two distances to participants: 60km and 100km. 11 teams consisting of 44 walkers took on 100km (which has to be completed within 48 hours), while 8 teams with 32 walkers participated in 60km (which has to be completed within 24 hours).

  • OTW2019 Booklet ENG Online Outline.Indd
    Foreword Ordinary People doing the Extraordinary Have your ever imagined that the people around you every day, whether they are chefs, teachers, shoemakers, or domestic helpers, are talented experts? Incredible people in our midst, fulfilling countless legends; these people include our enduring Oxfam Trailwalkers (OTW). They are determined to thrive, humble yet extraordinary, truly admired by all of us. The hardest challenge along the 100 km trail is not the rugged path, but four people working together unceasingly and unwaveringly within those 48 hours. The trailwalkers would have gone through rigorous training, meticulous planning and close communication with each other before being able to reach the finish line. These bittersweet experiences are just like what we have encountered in our lives. To make the OTW a success and even better every year takes great teamwork. Last year, we were happy to have the support of 5,000 walkers, 3,000 volunteers, over 38,000 donors, more than 5,000 support team members, and close to 20 sponsors. Since 1986, Hong Kong has seen over 100,000 people participate in the OTW and raise over HK$600 million. It originally started as a city-wide event and has now become an international one, with 14 regions taking part this year, including Korea, Australia, India, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, and New Zealand. The effort and perseverance demonstrated by our walkers, volunteers, and support teams, echoes with our determination to fight against poverty, growing with the support of the people to forge head with our anti-poverty, advocacy, humanitarian, and education programmes to achieve our goal of creating a world without poverty! See you all at the starting and finishing lines on 15-17 November! Stephen Fisher Acting Director General Oxfam Hong Kong 1 2 A MESSAGE FROM AIA, PRINCIPAL SPONSOR 2019 is the fifth consecutive year that AIA is serving as the Principal Sponsor of Oxfam Trailwalker in the name of “AIA Vitality”.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
