24 April 2019

Summer conditions attracted 104 starters to the Broulee Runner/walkers celebration of its 600th run.  It was also the recognition of Dave Connaughton’s 450th completion of the 5 kilometres event.

We were able to enjoy the occasion with a large cake that fed most of the competitors and it made for a great community celebration, which is in part why the event has been so successful.

It was also a special night for Margaret Dickinson who received her 30-run shirt.  Margaret is the fourth member of the family to proudly wear the Broulee Runners shirt.

We were able to welcome Anya, Hans and Jossie of the Lawatsch family, Sue and Yvonne Carter, Jo and Steve Wynn, Dirk and Edwina Wymer, Les and Shani Ridsdale, Ross Wallis, Liliana Murphy, Vicki Whitter, Nicole McLoy and Gill Stapleton to their first run with the group.

In the 2 kilometres personal best time were run by Ryan Huynh. Eli Sleeman, Millie Shanahan, Zara Hungerford, Asha Hewitson.  In the 3.5 kilometres the improvers were Jacob Shepherd, Kai Sleeman and Judy Kennedy.  In the 5 kilometres personal best times were recorded by Thach Huynh, Stephanie Lunn and Luke and Joy Drudy.

See you all next week at 4.30pm.

Strong winds tested the endurance of the 69 starters in tonight’s Broulee Run/Walk.  We had visitors from Canberra and various Country areas.  A special welcome to Lucas and Mitch

Carissa Morgan achieved her 100th run this evening.  Her parents Janelle and Steve were joined by Carissa’s brothers Lucas and Mitch to celebrate this occasion.  The boys had travelled some distance for this special run.  Carissa is part of Special Olympics Eurobodalla and she competes regularly in Swimming, T-ball, soccer and cricket.

In the 2 kilometres personal best times were achieved by Natalie Greenway, Marcus and Neil Mackay.  In the 3.5 kilometres Wendy Donoghue improved and in the 5 kilometres the stand out was Jason Domeny.  Jason has shown remarkable improvement since he started running in the 2 kilometres back 17 October 2018.

There were several Broulee runners competing in the Canberra Running festival last weekend.  Lauren ran her first marathon in the excellent time of 3 hours 20 minutes.  In the half Lisa Robbins and Matt Lambert were outstanding and in the 10 kilometres Matt Johnsen ran an incredible time of 31.38 to come third missing out winning by a mere 37 seconds.

Next week we will be celebration of our 600th run.  The event has come a long way since 8 people did the first run back on 7 February 2008.  Some children have grown up doing the run in that time starting as babes in their mother’s arms and now running super quick times.

The first Broulee run/walk after day light saving finished gave us a taste of the cooler conditions to came.  Regardless, it must have been ideal as there were 12 personal best times.

In the 2 kilometres, personal best times were recorded by Benjamin and Eva Mackay, Tino Lopresti, Deakin McPartland, Harper Lasscock and Peter Johnsen.  In the 3.5 kilometres, the improvers were Erin Drewsen, Tess Klower and Andrew Greenway.  In the 5 kilometres, the improvers were Angus Murphy and Tessa Muskett.

Kirsty Campbell recorded her 30th run this evening after an absence of almost 3 years.  It must be back to Broulee as Tessa Muskett run a best time after an absence of almost 6 years.  It is great that people remember the run and that we can keep a record of their past achievements.

Lauren Evans and Lisa Robbins are competing in the Canberra Marathon and half Marathon this coming weekend and they will make the Broulee runners proud.  We also congratulate Nev Madden and Jill Brown who both competed in the Albury Marathon weekend in late March.

56 starters contested the last Broulee Runners and walkers before the end of day light saving.  Although, the conditions were perfect, we were only able to squeeze out 4 personal best times.

In the 2 kilometres Justin Murphy recorded another impressive personal best time by 45 seconds and Millie Shanahan improved by 21 seconds.

In the 3.5 kilometres Andrew Greenway and Declan McPherson were the star performers, both with solid personal best times.

We welcomed Wendy Donoghue to her first run with the group.  She is a local and has seen the event over the years and was under the impression that is was only for good athletes.  She now knows that it is an event for all who wish to run or walk and mix with members of the community.  She did an impressive first run and is keen to improve in the future.

Gillian Edwards received her 30-run shirt this evening and was seen wearing it proudly before the start in company with her daughter Millie, who received her shirt last week.

Great autumn weather attracted 43 starters in Wednesday evening Broulee run/walk.  We welcomed a runner from Oregan USA by the name of Courtney Drewsen.  She ran an excellent time of 20.55 in the 5 kilometres, which is impressive because this was her first look at the course.  Other members of the Drewsen clan in Kloey and Erin also participated.

In the 2 kilometres Justin Murphy slashed 3 minutes off his best time and Peter Johnsen equalled his previous best time.  In the 3.5 kilometres Ross Wilson managed to run his fourth persona best time this year.

Millie Shanahan and Matt Edenborough were awarded their 30-run shirts.  Millie is one step ahead of her mother Gillian, who will receive hers at her next run.

Anthony Miles, ran this evening and showed no ill effects from his 50 kilometres Australian Alpine Ascent trail run in the Snowy Mountains last Sunday.  His mate Morgan Pettit, who is a regular, is recovering from this gruelling event.  Both Morgan and Anthony were well placed in this event and are both looking for another challenge.
