Westies have been Running Wild at Kedumba
Published Wed 30 Oct 2019
from the RW website: “arguably the toughest half marathon in Australia”.
A handful of Westies once again challenged Running Wild’s ‘mighty Kedumba course’ and we did well. Jack, Mark, Sue and Leanne all conquered the Half, and Vic the 10.
The outstanding effort belonged to Jack, finishing 12th outright in a time of 1h48m, so much so he was mentioned in post-race dispatches:
From RW facebook:
Running Wild NSW 19 October at 23:25 · Running Wild truly believes anything is possible, and that was evident in force today – some wonderful examples come to mind ... For the men there were Harry (10k) and Jack (HM), two younger runners who’s faces are the future of trail running in Australia! Harry and Jack both smashed their events out there today and we have no doubt we will be hearing lots more about them in the future.
… with perfect cooler conditions at the start of the race and a lot of strong running both down and back up the hill.
Pre- race start temps were 3-4 degrees.
Course description: Runners start from the old Queen Victoria Hospital (the UTA checkpoint) and head down, down, down Kedumba Walls to the campground. After crossing the river, runners turn around and make the climb back up Kedumba to the finish area. Runners get to see magnificent views of Kedumba Walls, Jamison Valley, Kedumba Valley and the rear of Mt. Solitary”.
A great morning! Great to do! Great to finish!
