THE traffic on Kay Street belied a lazy Sunday morning when Traralgon was
transformed into a runners' realm yesterday as 561 people tackled the
Traralgon Harriers Community Fun Run and Walk.
The five kilometre run or walk, combined with a 1.5km course for children,
raised about $5500 for Gippsland Rotary Centenary House as the community
came together in the name of fun and fitness.
Harrier’s president Will Hanrahan said the event, which drew a few extra
faces than last year's, was another raging success.
"It was a lovely day, the kids' event is an absolute treat. It's a highlight for
people to stand around and watch the kids," Hanrahan said.

On the competitive side Harriers speedster Ryan Wissmer was across the
finish line in first in 16 minutes and 19 seconds, followed by junior runner Riley
Evans from the 14 and under age group in 17 minutes flat.
Alexandra Bull was the quickest of the women in 19.39, ahead of Sarah Lewis
(19.43) and adventure racing phenom Kathryn Preston (19.47).
The other competitive platform was the participation stakes, which this year
was comprehensively claimed by Lavalla Catholic College with a whopping 88
entrants.
Traralgon Football Netball Club was another standout with 47 taking part,
including top five overall finisher Matt Northe.
"That was an absolute standout, Lavalla Catholic College had 88 which is really
setting the bar high," Hanrahan said.
"The footy club had 47 which for their first year was a very good effort."
Federal member for Gippsland Darren Chester forked out a rounded up $300
toward the cause after 140 runners beat him across the line at $2 a pop under
his self-issued challenge.

Traralgon Community Fun Run 2016
It can be said this run is like having the R4TK event in your own backyard. It
is a “A” class event which produces A grade results and is definitely one not to
be missed. Just being there and seeing Mick Bridle {84} sprint to the line in
42:55 is enough to motivate and reward anyone who was in attendance. I really
enjoy doing events where I know most of the runners so you can reflect and
marvel at the performances of others.
With so many Traralgon Harriers putting in great performances it is hard to
write about everyone so I will just reflect on a few that caught my eye. Riley
Evans 17:00 gave Ryan Wissmer 16:09 the fright of his life when he turned for
home and saw Riley only 20 meters behind him. He is not used to having
someone so close to him. Peter Evans 18:25 continue to improve at a consistent
rate. I am sure Glen Crawford 19:26, Darren Fletcher 19:58, Owen Notting
21:02, Edi Murat 21:29, Simone Forbes 21:29, Brad Harkin 21:37, Jen Northe
22:03 and Anna Cardillo 23:50 just to name a few would also be happy with
their runs. The top three are.
Super Mum Kathryn Preston 19:47- I was fortunate enough to spend a bit
of time running with Kathryn and Mattias. It was quite entertaining hearing
Mattias singing away Go! Go! Go!. Kathryn struggled a bit on the uphill but came
flying passed me once we turned for home a super effort.
So close Hilary Meyer 20:00- I knew when she went flying past me early in
the race she was on a mission. The usual chatty Hilary didn’t speak a word. So
close to breaking 20 minutes but still a big P/B. Hilary has had a big workload
lately and seems to be excelling on it. This doesn’t surprise me that she can
handle it. She is a natural talented runner with a good technique and has a big
engine to go with it. Should be running sub 20 minutes consistently soon.
The reluctant runner makes and audacious debut- Finally my son Josh blew
me away with his run. Josh is not runner. Since he started playing footy I have
constantly try to encourage him to run harriers to improve his running. It
wasn’t until 18 months ago that he finally started doing something to improve
his running. Although he started listing to me on the finer points of running he
wouldn’t take the next step and race.

Traralgon Community Fun Run 2016 continued:
I tried to get him to the track over the summer but I had no success. When
the Traralgon Football Club decided to support the Fun Run Josh had no option
but to run. All week he kept telling me I cannot run 5km without stopping. How
do I run it? If go hard I will have to walk up the hill. I said take it easy and
just finish in around 30 minutes and you will be ok. He sister Mel said don’t
worry the adrenalin will kick in with the atmosphere of such a big race and you
will be surprised how well you go. When he crossed the line in 22:09 I couldn’t
believe it. The scary part is he run sub 4 minutes for the last km. I don’ think
I will be taking him to the track soon; I need something up my sleeve to try
and stay in front of him.

TRARALGON HARRIERS’ RACE REPORT 3/3/2016
EDWARD HUNTER RESERVE 5KM HANDICAP
The bushland trails at Edward Hunter Reserve in Moe was a wonderful
location for last Thursday evening’s 5km race. The handicap event
encompassed two hilly loops on twisting walking tracks through native bush
with the lake as a focal point.
The course was thus satisfyingly demanding and always interesting, requiring
mental commitment to maintain reasonable momentum to the top of the steep
bits before holding on into the level sections and then recovering on the
downs.
Surprisingly high humidity made the race even more challenging and left most
participants dripping wet at the finish.
The variable terrain offered by this type of running is a great strength
builder and less likely to incur overuse injuries and restricted flexibility from
repetitive running action on hard, constant surfaces.
The handicap component was won by Annette Anderson in a net time of 33
minutes 7 seconds. Simone Forbes finished second in a resounding time of
24:24 – the fastest outright time amongst the females.

Welcoming and Duty:
Traralgon Harriers is a welcoming and inclusive club which enables people to
enjoy their running or walking and to achieve their full potential. In order to
achieve this goal we have re-established a welcoming committee. Many thanks
to Helen Reeves, Peter Sanders, Todd Houghton, Simone Forbes, Mandy Ellis,
Kris Vallak and Steve McLeod who have offered to help out. However we are
looking for a few more people to assist them in this important role. Please
contact Helen or Will if you would like to help out?
Two members of the welcoming committee will be rostered on each Thursday
and it is important that everyone recognises the difference in welcoming and
the other duty tasks. The role of the Welcomer is to meet with people who
are first timers or reasonably new to the club, to give out the club flyer, to
answer any questions and assist them to understand all about the club. This is
not one quick conversation but an ongoing process over a number of weeks or
months.
NB. It is important that everyone realises that those on the welcoming
committee are not on the general duty roster. Many thanks to everyone who
has helped out with the duty roster over the year!!
The welcoming committee is also looking for members who are willing to run
with new people for at least their first run, we are calling this role Welcome
Runners.
The welcoming committee will match the welcome runners with someone of
similar ability so that you don’t have to severely compromise your run but you
are unlikely to get a PB that night.
Welcoming and Duty:
This role is simply to be friendly, run at the new person’s pace and ensure
they know the course and don’t get lost on the first night. Some of the people
who have indicated their willingness to be welcome runners are: Kaye
Livingstone, Belinda Issell, Barry Higgins, Karen Graham, Belinda Ruff. Anyone
else who is willing to assist in this way please contact Helen Reeves or one of
the Welcoming Committee?
Kind regards
Will Hanrahan on behalf of the Committee of Management

Invitation to Traralgon Harriers AGM 7.00pm
on Thursday 17 March 2016 at the Clubrooms
All club members are invited to attend the club Annual General Meeting. This
is always an important date on the club calendar because it is where the
committee is elected for the coming year, and is an opportunity to consider
other important matters which effect the future of the club. It is not just
about electing the committee and anyone who has a genuine interest in the
future of the club should attend.
Anyone nominating for a position on the committee must lodge a
completed nomination form with the club secretary (Rob Preston) by 6.50pm
on 17/3/16. Nomination form can be found here.
If anyone is interested in joining the committee please discuss your
intention with Rob or Will. Several current members of the Committee of
Management have indicated they will step down so it is important we have
some new members interested in helping run the club.

Helen Whitby is after a double jogging pram. Anyone who can help please give
Helen a ring on 0429909959
