We are going camping this weekend in a small country town with our motorhome club. We have been to this place a number of times and I was thinking -- booooring!!! BUT!! -- I have discovered that on Sunday is an annual 8.3 klm FunRun along an abandoned railway line which is mainly used now for horse riding - it goes from this town to another small nearby town railtrailfunrun.com.au/defa...
They usually get around 700 entrants for the run -- so I"M IN!!! -- my first serious funrun (is that a contradiction in terms??) I'm GOING to do it in an hour!!!

Sounds good Bazza, that should keep things interesting for you. Hope you get to do it in an hour or less. Let us all know and have a seriously fun time! X
That does look fun, Bazza; great stuff for entering! No, fun runs can be as serious or as fun as you want them to be, I think. Full report when you're back from it, please!
AAAGH!! I got it all wrong - the race is on this weekend , but we are not going camping until next weekend. But, this small town is only 1 hours drive away and they take late entrees after 7AM so I am planning on driving up there early Sunday morning. I did 7.5 klms this morning quite easily so I would like to do this run as part of my preparation for Sydney City to Surf.
That sounds like a contradiction in terms and an oxymoron, but we know what you mean!
Is the run a 4.15K and then back, or is it an 8.3K out and then walk back? Just wondering.
8.3 k one way on an old (no longer used) train line between two small country towns - the organisers have bus shuttles going between the two towns with parking in each town ( to maximise economic opportunities for traders in each place )
Good luck, and I hope it's not too hot. Make sure you have plenty of fluids before setting out, and remember, you will sweat-out salts that need replacing too.
Do they have water stations along the line...get it...water STATIONS on an old railway line...OK, it's Friday.
