TRARALGON HARRIERS

By GARY FOX

TRARALGON Harriers Athletics Club ran six kilometres on the new Traralgon-Morwell walking trail, starting at the Latrobe Regional Hospital, on Thursday, December 1.

Competing in pleasant conditions were total of 63 runners.

The course takes in a section of the new path from LRH, to Old Melbourne Road, and back.

Great running by Zack Beasley saw him first home with an impressive time of 23 minutes and 12 minutes, closely followed by Miles Verschuur (23.46) and Ian Cornthwaite (23.50).

Yani Cornthwaite was the first woman home, producing excellent running with a time of 28.46 followed by Liz Kenney (29.37) and Karen Graham (30.45).

Michelle Possingham, the chief executive of Lifeline Gippsland, was presented a cheque from the Traralgon Harriers Athletics Club, which represented the money we raised from The Memorial Run.

The club’s alignment with Gippsland Lifeline is another positive community relationship, along with Gippsland Rotary Centenary House and The Gippsland Plains Rail Trail, showing support for very important services in the community.

Next week is the Track Night at Newborough, giving runners a great chance to run a good time on the synthetic track.

This week the Traralgon Harries Athletics Club reached 140 members, an amazing milestone.

The club thanks the work of many people and has grown to be genuinely inclusive and welcoming.
