52 people braved the cold southerly winds to contest the three distances on offer for the last Broulee run of the winter of 2017.

We welcomed three members of the Costin family namely Nancy, Sean and Nathan, and Kassi Lozi and Dallas Pirro from Sydney who joined the group.

Personal best times were hard to come by with the strong wind and cold conditions.
Nevertheless, Elani Van Der Weerdenburg, Cat Johnston, Liz and Jo Pirro managed to beat the odds and improve their times in the 2-kilometre event.

Dylan Van Der Meulen (pictured) was awarded his 30-run shirt this evening. It was actually his 41st run and because of his height, he had to wait till a special order arrived from our sponsors in Bali. Dylan started back in 2015 and has an excellent time of 20.27 to his credit in the 5 kilometres. He is one of a number of runners knocking on the door of the magic 20 minutes mark for the distance.

See you all for our first Spring run next Wednesday at 4.30pm.

Perfect running conditions helped the 41 starters in Wednesday’s Broulee Runners and Walkers event.

We welcomed Jared Searson from Queensland visiting his parents Maureen and Paul, who are regulars at our event.

Personal best times were recorded by KA Whyte and Daisy West in the 2 kilometres, Emma Patyus in the 3 kilometres and Harrison Gilligan, Anthony Miles, Bridget Lunn, Mary Anderson and Julianne Domeny in the 5 kilometres.

Cathy West (pictured with Sunni and Daisy) received her 30-run shirt this evening.  Cathy started with the group on 12 November 2014.  She was inspired by her boy Sunni, who was a regular at that time. Husband David and daughter Daisy soon followed to form the complete running West family, who have completed a total of 106 runs between them.  Cathy’s personal best in the 2 kilometres is an excellent time of 8.11 set on 9 August this year.

See you all next Wednesday at 4.30pm.

The August winds were at their strongest for this evening’s run. This kept the numbers down to 33. Personal best times were recorded by Makayla Wade in the 3.5 kilometres and Harrison Gillighan and Mary Anderson in the 5 kilometres.

Special mention goes to Sunni West, who following on from his personal best times over consecutive weeks in the 2 and 3.5 kilometres tackled the 5 kilometres and recorded an excellent time of 28.52.

There is strong competition in the 5 kilometres as runners prepare for the Moruya Town to Surf, which will be held on 10 SeptemberThis is evident by the strong showing by Mary Anderson and Julie Wilkes.

See you all next week at 4.30pm

Excellent conditions attracted 44 starters in this evening’s run. We welcomed Travis McGeachy to his first run, Travis ran a sensational time of 20.31 in his first attempt at the 5 kilometres and he was disappointed that he did not break the magic 20 minute mark.

Personal best times were recorded by Sunni and Cathy West and Travis Dunnett in the 2 kilometres.  Nev Madden and Tiffany Johnston in the 3.5 kilometres. Aaron Flood, Brock Gilligan and Tracey Denning in the 5 kilometres.

Ross Hayward (pictured) used this run as a warm up for this Sunday’s Sydney City to Surf 14 kilometres fun run.  His first attempt at this event was in 1990 and this Sunday will be his 25th appearance in this iconic event.  His personal best time of 71.46 was recorded in 1995.  Ross has been a regular Broulee Runner having started 31 October 2007 and he has 211 runs to his credit. He will be proudly wearing his Broulee shirt on Sunday.  Everyone at tonight’s run wished him well in his 25th appearance.

See you all next week at 4.30pm.

2 August 2017


Winds from the South Pole greeted the 48 starters in this evening’s run. This motivated everyone to take off as quickly as possible. The only exception was one small child, who took off in the opposite direction with his mother in hot pursuit.

The initial pace resulted in 13 personal best times. These were recorded by Leila and Emma Patyus, Selby Johnstone, Christian Proksch, Jo and Liz Pirro, Sunni West, Amelia Wilkes, Mary Anderson, Morgan Pettit, Greg Flood, Prue Bartlett and Brock Gilligan.

It was a night for the young athletes to shine with outstanding performances from Leila Patyus, Selby Johnstone, Sunni West and Amelia Wilkes, a special mention must go to Amber Domeny, who tackled the 5 kilometres. Well done to you all.

Pictured are some of our younger runners who were very hard to keep still and not pull faces at the camera :) See you all next week at 4.30pm.
