    NOTES ON THE ORIGINS OF TRAIL RUNNING SA. Part 1. The Yurrebilla Trail. David Close " I know, the Yurrebilla Trail" said Terry Cleary with a visionary gleam in his eyes. The occasion was John Glowik's 60th birthday party in Sally Buckett's home, in mid-2007.This was the conception of The Yurrebilla Trail 56 km Ultra (YUM), and, as it turned out, the start of a revival of trail running in SA. A few minutes later, further discussion was cut short when the candles on John's birthday cake triggered the smoke alarm. Perhaps this was an omen of some sort. After this evening, Terry spent much time exploring the Yurrebilla Trail, which then was poorly marked, and making arrangements for refreshments. He told me that he was influenced by one of the most famous trail running events in Australia, the 6 Foot Track in New South Wales. On 25 November, he led 22 other runners for a long and memorable run along the whole 56 kms of the trail. Having promised his wife Gay - who organised the catering with great success - that this run was a once-off affair, he left Adelaide immediately afterwards to work in Alice Springs. Terry Cleary, with myself, Doug Smart and Ken Graham in 2012. I was at the time bird watching in Peru, but resolved after his return in December that this adventure could not be allowed to die. Up to this point, organised trail running in SA had a long history - from at least as early as the 1980s. In the 1993, Peter Allmand, formed the Off Road Division of the SA Road Runners Club (SARRC).
