Bay Larks are on 49, Narooma are on 42, Tomakin are on 54, Bay Plus 46, Tuross are on 49. Division 2 progressive scores are more diverse. Moruya Blues are again easily in the lead. Breakers are on 38, Tomkatz on 35, Moruya Blues on 71, Broulee Flamingos on 49, Narooma Gold on 62 and Tomakin on 47 Division 3 progressive scores don't really indicate how close the matches have been.

A er consulta on with many of the stake holders, it is the decision that we are to use course B for the me being to conduct the Wednesday run. The overall considera on is safety of the many par cipants. The track is s ll wet and narrow. The prime problem is the many exposed tree roots that could trip a runner or walker at any me. Given that there are par cipants from the very young to the more mature, our first considera on is their safety. This is not the first change of course as in the beginning the start was at the toilet block near the boat ramp and turned around opposite Carters Shops. It was changed to the current configura on once the bike path was completed. This has been used for around 750 runs. Should there be major improvements to this very popular walking track we will return!!! We have had Elite athletes par cipate at our event and the records of Ma Johnsen (15.51) and Jaylah Hancock-Cameron (17.46) over the 5 kilometres may remain in the history books. It is hoped that both will come and test themselves over the 4 kilometres to show the rest of us mortals how it is done!!
To show that we have made the correct decision the rain returned this evening!
