2017 COBURG 24 HOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

A total of 38 athletes (27 runners and 11 walkers) toed the line for the 10AM Saturday start on Saturday 22nd April 2017. Conditions certainly varied. Saturday afternoon saw sunny and warm conditions before a change came through, dumping a huge downpour of rain on the track in the late evening. From then on, intermittent rain made conditions tricky. And to add to the fun, the mist rolled in overnight from the Merri Creek, blanketing track and competitors in a dense fog. So it was certainly not boring!<\/p>\n

The 24H Run saw clear wins to Donna Urquhart (204.607km) and John Yoon (225.611). Both were also big PBs and brought two new exciting runners to the forefront of our attention. Justin Scholz also bettered the 200km mark with a well \u00a0judged 203.093km.<\/p>\n
