WEEKLY NEWS REPORT FOR 26-02-2025
As always, we're continuously on the hunt for your stories and reports, so get those race reports and photographs in to ultramag@autra.asn.au with the following information:
- Word document, single spaced
- Include the name of the event, the date and the location anywhere in the report (just a bullet point at the top is great)
- Please attach photographs to the email – do not put images in the body of your Word doc. You’ll just get me emailing you back asking for the photos sent in the correct way!
- As many photos as possible. With our new website, it’s now easier than ever to include a nice gallery in each race report
- No PDFs please
And remember, it doesn’t have to be about an AUTRA-listed event specifically! You just have to be an AUTRA member for the 2025 year. Also too, if you’ve run in a non-AUTRA listed event anywhere on home soil or internationally, we’d love to include your race results and experience in our Member Updates, so please do reach out to us via email to kate.dzienis@autra.asn.au
If any corrections need to be made in any of the results listed below, please alert me via email.
Sri Chinmoy 100km Road Run (Australian 100km Road Championships), ACT
The Sri Chinmoy 100km Road Run was held on Saturday, 22 February 2024 at Commonwealth Park in Canberra, and also doubled up as the Australian 100km Road Championships.
The course was a certified 5km loop on shared pathways alongside Lake Burley Griffin and was hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team.
In the Men’s 100km, top spot was taken out by Dominic Bosher from Great Britain who finished in 7:45:30. Second Male was Chris Hatherly with 8:28:51, and 3rd Male was awarded to Thomas Allen who finished in 8:38:27.
In the Women’s 100km, 1st Female went to Estafania Unzu Ripoll, who completed the distance in 7:47:46 and secured herself a new W35 record for Spain. She may have the Open Spanish 100km Women’s record also, but that is subject to testing. In 2nd Female top spot was New Zealand’s Carol Robertson with 8:42:07, and 3rd went to AUTRA’s Lindsay Hamilton with a great time of 10:46:34.
With regards to the Australian 100km Road Championships, a reminder that winners – podium positions in both the Men’s and Women’s divisions – do not need to be financial AUTRA members. They simply need to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd to be recognised as Championship winners by AUTRA.
*And BECAUSE THE AUSTRALIAN 100KM ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS CAN ONLY BE AWARDED TO AUSTRALIANS, THE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
In the Men’s 100km, 1st and 2nd Male spots were awarded to Chris Hatherly (8:28:51) and Thomas Allen (8:38:27). AUTRA’s very own Michael Griffin secured 3rd Male in the Championships with a finish time of 9:21:09.
In the Women’s 100km, our Championship winners were AUTRA’s Lindsay Hamilton with a time of 10:46:34, Natasha Jacobs with 11:01:16, and 3rd Female went to AUTRA member Allicia Heron who completed the race in 11:04:53.
Congratulations to all AUTRA members who ran in the 100km event, including Thomas White (9:46:41), John Pearson (9:48:16), Andrew Donaldson (9:54:27), Cheryl Symons (11:34:08), Stewart Pope (11:38:15), Cheryl Kiernan (12:02:58), Pam Muston (13:14:13) and Sabina Hamaty (14:11:13).
Cheryl Symons secured a new race record in the W50-59 – congratulations Cheryl!
