The last of our triathlons in the series, this is the fun one where you get to chase/or be chased as you start from a time handicap worked out by some secret algorithm perfected by Carl, so slower triathles, based on Season results, go first and prgressively faster athletes head off in pursuit. The theory is that we are all meant to finish at the same time. Yet to happen... So much fun, but only open to Club members this one.

Distance is usually 400metres | 12km | 4km (in between Enticer and Sprint to allow everyone to compete in a single race).

Harcourts Signature 10km, starting at Simmonds Park, Lindisfarne, and following the river under the Tasman Bridge, around Rosny Hill, Bellerive Bluff, and along Bellerive Beach.

B and E Launceston 10 - Fun Run

http://www.launcestonten.com.au/index.html

Distance: 11 km Hazards circuit or 29 km Mt Graham circuit.

Description: Both circuits will be run simultaneously in a clockwise direction.

The Freycinet Peninsula is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations in the world. With 29 km of exceptional track interspersed with pristine beaches this trail run will be hard to race with the temptation to stop for a swim or take in the view!

We have two options for this trail run with a shorter 11 km circuit via Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach, and the full 29 km circuit taking in Mt Graham and Cooks Beach. If this is your first trail run we strongly suggest you do the shorter circuit. We cannot take walkers on the long circuit due to the time it takes to complete that distance. If entering the 29km run you need to be capable of completing the course in under 5:30hrs.

We recommend the 29 km run for experienced trail runners, the course is rough underfoot and is marked only with cairns in some parts of the track

Compulsory equipment is required for the 29km loop and includes: a thermal top, a space blanket, water (bladder or drink bottle), food (energy bar/gel/chocolate bar), a head torch and a roller bandage. A waterproof top and additional warm clothes/beanie/gloves are also suggested in case the weather gods do not smile on us!

There are many camping and accomodation options within Freycinet National Park and nearby Coles Bay if you wish to make a weekend of it - highly recomended!!!

Entry fee: $45 per person

Entry Cap: there is a cap of 100 runners per event (so enter early!!)

The Glenorchy Fun Run is the main promotional event run by the Northern Suburbs Athletic Club each year with about 400 participants turning out in the middle of winter. The event is the clubs largest fundraiser each year. ​

The idea to hold a 5km and 10km fun run in the Northern Suburbs of Hobart was conceived by club members Mike Pace and Brian Sutherland in the early 90's with the first event in 1991. The first few events were held as a celebration of Tasmania Day and the male and female winners were each awarded a large Tasmanian Medal.

With a couple of course and month changes, the Glenorchy Fun Run has now found its place on the Tasmanian Fun Run Calendar in late July at the Derwent Entertertainment Centre.
