Gary was elected via a telephone hook up organised by Nigel Aylott. The mood amongst the meeting was one of great enthusiasm. A big congratulations must be given to the organisers of two new events. Those events being the Trans Australia Race of Fire and the Lest we Forget ultra. The Race of Fire was an amazing stage race of approximately 4,300 kilometres contested by a world class international field, an event 5 times bigger than the old Sydney to Melbourne races and with only one fifth of the budget!! Organiser, Bernie Farmer, pulled off the "almost impossible". A special mention must be made to the three Aussies who finished this gruelling event, they aie Paul Every, Mick Francis and long time stalwart George Audley. Meanwhile in Brisbane, an ultramarathon option was offered along with the regular marathon and shorter events at the annual River Run. Based on the concept of the Comrades Marathon in South Africa, the 84.4km "Lest we Forget" event was run in memory of our fallen soldiers. The course covers the highway from the Gold Coast to Brisbane and was very successful with 78 finishers, many of whom are new faces to ultrarunning. Organiser, Don Griffin, has high hopes of this event attracting large numbers of runners in future years. With the tragic loss of Bryan Smith still fresh in the ultra world, we have included more tributes and reports of his achievements. Bryan was a three time winner of the Coburg 24 hour event and there were emotional scenes at this years event when runners were presented with their certificates by Bryan's widow, Janet. Janet, of course, is well known and respected in the ultra community. The International Association of Ultrarunners recently inducted the first 5 names into the "Hall of Fame". The 5 runners and a brief story about their careers appears in this issue. Also of interest is an article by Ted Corbitt. Ted, now in his eighties, is widely recognised as the grandfather of modern day ultrarunning and he outlines his career and some of his amazing high mileage training workouts while multi day walker, Sandra Brown, has written an absorbing article on planning and strategy. I have taken the liberty to include some history, The annual Frankston to Portsea race has now been run 29 times and a complete wrap up of its history going right back to 1973 is included, many thanks to Max Gibbs for his research which is still ongoing. Speaking of history, Phil Essam has an excellent web site that has a history link. Phil has managed to dig out a collection of race results from 1986 to 1992. Phil's history site can be found at http://ultraoz.50megs.com/history.htm . It is also well worth checking Aura's web site which has taken on a new format at http://coolrunning.com.au/ultra As per usual, there are race results and reports from the last three months along with a variety of articles, weird and wonderful photos and international news. Contributions for future magazines are welcome and can be sent to "The Editor" p.o. box 2786, Fitzroy, 3065, Vic Just to finish with. Secretary, Phil Essam, is still in the process of putting the membership data on computer and if you are unfinancial then this will be the last magazine you receive. In the near future, we will be able to send separate reminders to unfinacial members and those who may have lapsed in the past few years Kevin Cassidy Dear All, Andrew Lucas is thinking about putting on a ten day stage race next year from Canberra to Melbourne or vice versa. It will either be held around the Easter Long weekend or the June long Weekend and will raise money for a Melbourne charity. There will be a set non-refundable entry fee(50% of entries used for prizemoney) and runners will have to provide their own crew, van, food and water to be able to start. If anyone is possibily interested in entering a race of this nature next year please let myself know on 03 9398 4167 or Andrew Lucas on 03 83103249. Phil Essam Dear All, Just to let everyone know im researching the possibility of staging a new 100 mile, 100km road race in Victoria next year.

  • TREVOR JACOBS– Ultra Insanity
    trevor 2/7/05 10:57 PM Page 1 Interview Trevor Jacobs – Ultra insanity By Daniel Green Name: Trevor Jacobs Date of Birth: One day in about 1951 Place of Birth: Bordertown, SA Sponsors: Huh? Oh yes – Qantas provided me with a half price ticket to Europe once which was gratefully appreciated. Currently Living: Yes! and in Canberra. Martial Status: Married to Josephine Occupation: Civil Engineer working in the water resource/environmental management field with the Murray- Darling Basin Commission. Height: 178cm Weight: 65kg Shoe Size: 10 Hair colour: Browny-greyish mix Favourite shoe colour: Anything really, except pink. They end up dirty looking pretty quickly anyway. Most loved pair of runners you have ever had: My first pair of runners (Asics Tiger) in 1981 as they felt really comfortable compared with the Dunlop Volleys I’d been using before that. Today, it’s Brooks Racer that I like best because they are comfortable, very durable and light so they are great for training as well as racing. Favourite race: I have so many favourite races that I generally follow a yearly cycle. Currently they include the 6 Foot Track, Canberra Marathon/50km, City to Surf, Oxfam Trailwalker, Brindabella Classic and various mountain races, together with a few rogaines and orienteering events. I like them all really! Today though, my favourite of the favourites would have to be the 6 Foot Track because it seems to suit me really well as I can finish close to the leaders more so than in any other race, giving a nice feeling. Super Sport Images Your top 3 running record with the numerically prefect time of Crackenback Challenges and on and on it experiences/performances: 3.33.33 in 1992.

  • Australian Outback Marathon 26 July 2014 Race Report
    Australian Outback Marathon 26 July 2014 Race Report http://australianoutbackmarathon.com/ Ross Prickett (Rosco) Background I returned to running at the start of 2011 after a long layoff (from late 80s/early 90s) when I was in the RAAF and before that as a teenager. I started by running up to 3 times per week during my lunch hours (just to keep fit) but it snowballed from there with my brother talking me into running the Canberra Marathon in 2012. So from late 2011, I began training seriously for Canberra (which I thought would be my one and only marathon). My goal for this race was <4 hours, but I surprised myself with 3:36. After the dust settled, my brother and I decided to take on the Melbourne Marathon later in the year following our trip to Peru, however fate had other plans. Unfortunately, I got a bad case of food poisoning whilst in Peru which led to a disease known as Reactive Arthritis and I returned to Australia in July 2012 crippled and unable to walk. This disease is a very painful auto immune condition and causes severe joint inflammation. For me, affected joints were in the left ankle/foot, right elbow/wrist/little finger and sacroiliac. I was off work for 2 months and on crutches until after the Melbourne Marathon. At this stage, I didn't know whether I would be capable of running again and was taking steroid medication, immune suppressants and powerful anti-inflammatory drugs. This was a frustrating time because I have always been an active person and played a lot of sport over the years (football, cricket, squash, and tennis) and now couldn't move without pain.

  • A Capital Marathon Canberra Marathon, Australia
    A capital marathon Canberra Marathon, Australia. 9 April 2006 By Alison Kay Canberra is Australia’s capital city and home to its Parliament. Lying between Sydney and Melbourne, it was chosen as the site of the federal capital in 1908 and planned in 1912 by master designer Walter Burley Griffin. Now in its 30th year, the Canberra Marathon has been equally carefully planned and well-organised. Griffin was a Chicago architect who won an international design competition with his plan which combined nature and urban living. Even today, 53% of the Australian Capital Territory in which Canberra was situated remains as nature reserve. It makes the Canberra Marathon one of the most scenic races in Australia. Traffic-free roads are bounded by parkland and offer panoramic views of Lake Burley Griffin and many of Australia’s national The marathon starts and finishes House, acclaimed for its celebrate the 50th anniversary of buildings. at Telopea Park.
