(ii) Barcaldine Forest Handicap Race

I thought it would be good to start up the Barcaldine Forest handicap races again this year. For those that haven't done it before, it's a 3.7 mile (5.9km) loop in Barcaldine Forest and is run on a timed handicap basis. Slowest runner goes off first and fastest runner goes off last, and everybody else is in between. Your handicap is based upon your time from the previous month or, as in the case of the first race of the year, your fastest time from the previous year. If it's your first time you will be given a handicap. The aim of the handicapping is for everybody to finish around the same time.

It's normally run on a monthly basis starting in April and finishing in September. First event will be on Tuesday 28th of April and then the third Tuesday in every month. Start times from 7pm, registration from 6.30pm. Meet in Sutherlands Grove carpark.
