Looks good. Andrew suggested later start times...thought that would be good early in the calander when warm &/or during daylight savings...late afternoon/twilight run/s. Would this be too difficult though?

Looks good to me, I like the idea of an earlier starting time on Saturdays, but realise that wouldn't work for everyone

The proposed calender looks great to me. I am one who would prefer to see races in the earlier timeslots on a Saturday somewhere between 10 and 11am. I understand the issues with Railton and agree with previous comments that there may be a suitable replacement run at Westbury or Hagley. Looking forward to next year....

Happy with the proposed events and prefer Saturdays with the time left at 1.00 p.m. as a number of people still work on Saturday mornings.

The calendar looks good to me, good mix of distances and locations again. Westbury or Deloraine could be options for the Railton replacement, nowhere near as hilly though! Sad to see Symmonds Plains has been omitted. I agree that earlier start times on Saturdays would be good, although I understand that this wouldn't suit everyone. Thanks for providing the opportunity to comment on the schedule, and for the great work done by the committee. Looking forward to the 2010 season, bring on 27 March :)

The calendar looks great.Earlier start times occasionally, i.e. 10-11am would be good.

Love the format and the venues. I even like Longford as long as it is the original course. Distance progression is good too. I like the idea of earlier start times as it would leave more of the day free. I could have a nice big lunch after the run too! Great job guys!

The dates look good, earlier start times would be nice around 10-11am or even later start times

Sorry to see railton lost. But I think somewhere like Hagley or Westbury would be good. Not far from town and plenty of offstreet parking at sportsgrounds. With quiet country roads close by.
New paths being built at George Town/Low Head so course could be moved off the road.
Keep up the good work.

I am not inspired by The Dragway or Longford races. Cross country races ,off the road, would be good but I understand they may be harder to organize. I prefer Saturday races. Twilight runs in the Summer?? Good mix of long and short distances.

I love the format as it is and always have. The only thing I hope is kept in mind, is that this is a club and as such should always attempt to cater to all (as is being done at present), I have just noticed talk of reducing length or "toughness" of races, I know im a little different however I have only competed in the shorter or easier races in support of the club and fellow competitors i have never really enjoyed them as much as a longer race. I understand the pressure the club is under from a safety aspect and have the utmost respect for the orgainisers for still running such a callender, Keep up the good work!

We like the saturday races better than Sunday's too, so please dont change. How about a run at Perth or Deloraine. Starting at either of the train parks. Both offer playgrounds, bbq & river runs.

The Railton - "to be changed", refers to the fact that we are seriously considering bringing this race closer to Launceston. The distance is likely to be very similar - i.e. 10 - 12 km :-) Suggestions?

Looks fine to me.
Although what does 'Railton (to be changed)' mean? Distance, location, time or all three?

Looks good. I can understand some opinions on Heritage Forest however by being early in the season it is a nice "safe" course for new runners to attempt with it's circuits and familiar location. That was why I chose it for my first run.

Would it be possible to have a few Sunday races for the people who have other sporting commitments on Saturdays

Thanks for organising this. I like the distance progression but agree with Paul re Heritage Forest and the Dragway - these were two mind numbing races.

There are 4 venues that are uninspiring. Heritage Forest,Dragway,Railton and Longford.Could we replace these with cross country events, similar to the superb White Hills race. Probably not as tough,but along similar lines.
The rest of the calender is really good and offers a wide range of distances and venues.
New paths being built at George Town/Low Head so course could be moved off the road.
Keep up the good work.
