Wind never deterred our enthusiasm for our social run. We had runners that ran varied distances ranging from 3000m, 5500m, 7500m, 8000m & 10,000m followed by a bite to eat at the Bridge Hotel.
Come and join us on our next Social Run on November 22nd.
Today’s legend is long time member and sponsor George Flack. George Joined the Bendigo Athletics Club in its infancy in 1976. George was coached by fellow BAC Life Member John Burke for the entirety of his running career and owes a lot of his success on the track to Burkey’s training and guidance.
BAC members are mourning the loss of Ron Martin, one of the early pillars of the BAC.
As well as having a successful career as a competitor in both the track and cross-country spheres, Ron was also a friend and mentor of many of the runners he met during his long association with the Club.
The rain and chill factor didn’t stop these dedicated BAC runners from having a crack at Round One of the covid-cross-country-capers! Although we all missed our usual gathering and sealed handicap at the Rifle Range it was great to dust off the runners and have a go at getting into the routine of Sunday morning running. The morning tea was missed but there was plenty of banter on messenger.
