CBR100 Challenge -Check Point 2
6 March 2016
Hall was host to hundreds of runners and support crew on a sweltering hot day for the second CBR100 Challenge - a run / walk race for individuals or teams over 25, 50 or 100 kilometres.
Hall School Museum and Heritage Centre was turned into a race Check point for the day, and Museum volunteers organised refreshments for competitors and supporters in the 100 kilometres race - the leaders getting to Hall around 1.30 pm.
Earlier in the day at 8.00 am there was a most impressive massed start for the 50 kilometre race, on Palmer Street near the school. The field of over 250 did a 'village loop' before heading off onto the Centenary Trail, bound for Mulligans Flat, Mount Ainslie, and finishing at Campbell.
The first person to arrive at Hall was eventual winner of the mens individual 100 kilometre race, Dave Graham, who finished the gruelling course in just over 11 hours, 11 minutes ahead of his nearest rival. Our photo shows Dave at the refreshments table doing a bit of rehydrating before setting off for One Tree Hill, and Museum volunteer Heather Wilford.
Many thanks to Tony Trobe for the Photo Gallery.
