| Melbourne Marathon After comprehensive analysis of the Tan Relay results, Collingwood has again shown its resilience through thick and thin. We will still be the only club with teams in all divisions for 2009. However there is no time to rest as the pinnacle of the season, the Melbourne Marathon, is upon us. We have a sizable contingent competing in both the Marathon and the half Marathon. We wish these runners all the very best on race day. Collingwood will be manning the 40km drink station and we require as many volunteers as possible. We need 7 marshals at nearby points on the course and 10 handing out drinks. Although its the 40km mark, we require 7 people at the drink station by 6.00 am and the rest by 7.00 am for the 7.30am race start. Everything should be wrapped up around 11:30am. Anyone interested please get in touch with John Crameri. | ||
| Tan Relays After the strong results in the fathers day half marathon, the Collingwood Harriers are in a good position to strengthen the team's position, and what better occasion to achieve that than the Tan Relays. With some new team members on the cards and others returning from injury, the future is promising so we need all members to attend this event. The Tan Relays will be held on 20 September at Kings Domain with the Mens open commencing at 9am and the womens at 9:05. If you can not make it, please let Magnus know so teams can be selected appropriately. After the race, Collingwood Harriers will be holding an end of season family BBQ in the park. | ||

Coliban Ekiden Relay - A tough day but the future is
promising Well, what we say about last week's race? It won't go down as one of our most successful outings but some good things came of it. Despite missing some 18 athletes, including 3 scratchings on the day, we were still able to field 7 teams, 6 men's teams and 1 women's team. The major highlight was the great form and courage shown by our younger members. Jessica Neale's run on the last leg was a gripping finale as she ran down a couple of older competitors to finish strongly on the track in front of her fellow members. Well done Jessica. The Warhurst boys again showed their good form with Julian running faster than Anthony Weiland on the final leg and Jonathan following in his older brother's footsteps with ever improving performances. Nadeen Roe, seven weeks out from England, and in only her second Australian run of any sort, tackled the difficult first leg to get her team off to a solid start. Another strong starter was Will Shiels who’s first leg performance put Division 4 ahead of Division 3.Click here for results. |

Thursday Night Track Sessions Each Thursday night at 7pm a group of the Collingwood Harriers distance runners meet for a casual session at the track. Sessions last about an hour and are arranged on the spot according to who is there and what their training plans are. We would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone interested in coming along, whether your an accomplished runner or a new starter. Indeed new starters may appreciate running with friendly, experienced runners who can help with training queries away from the pressure of personal trainers. We hope to see you there. |
