HARE: Point Post
VENUE: Pointy’s digs in Hawthorn.
THEME: Pizza & Fruit Cake Run
This was the first run in daylight savings time, so no need for torches, flashing wrist bands or flouro vests etc. The evening was warm and clear, but it’s still school holidays so some regulars were unavailable. For a change, most of the pack were runners and even the walkers walked most of the run, mainly because the hare did not set a separate walk trail.
RUN REPORT: By Swingers Scored 49/50
This was Swingers first running run since injuring himself at Point Post’s last run 6 months ago and he led the pack most of the way without falling down. Trail headed towards the Yarra, but then wound its way up to Riversdale Road, before returning back down into the parkland and alongside the Yarra. It then crossed over Glenferrie Road and back up to Riversdale Road before meandering through the smaller streets back down to the Yarra again, through some parkland, across the river, some more parkland, under the freeway over the river again and on home along Glenferrie Road. There were some complaints of not calling, but it really was not listening. E&B was perving at the real estate, which probably explained why she did not hear the calls.
WALK REPORT: By Cut Loose Scored 50/50
The walkers followed the run trail and enjoyed the scenery in the parks, along the river and also the gardens and real estate. They managed to mostly keep up with the runners until the on home along Glenferrie Road.
