TRACK BOOKINGS
Please be aware that the track is sometimes booked by schools and other users (see club website for details). In particular note that the track is booked for a Miler’s Club meets on Thursday, March 19, and Thursday, March 26 from 7:00pm. There is also a booking during the day on Wednesday, March 25, which will mean that the track is unavailable for training until 5:00pm on that day.
The 800m and 1500m events on March 19 can be entered via the Victorian Miler’s Club website. The 3000m and 5000m events on March 26 are open to all (not just AV members) and is therefore run under the title of the Victorian Running Network. You can enter these events via the AV website.
XCR’15 COMING SOON!
The 2015 cross country and road racing season starts in just 5 weeks. The first event will be the cross country relays at Jells Park on Saturday, April 18. Let’s hope that Box Hill can have another successful winter season.
CLUB 5K HANDICAP – Saturday, April 11
The Club’s annual 5k handicap race will be held at the usual venue, along the bike paths at Gardiner’s Creek in Box Hill South, on the morning of Saturday April 11. Meet at 9:00am for a 9:30 start. The run will be followed by brunch. This will be the launch of our winter season and we hope that as many members as possible will come along to race, run or jog the 5km course (or help out with timing).
