KSB has once again been asked to operate the drink station in St Kilda Road for the Melbourne Marathon on Sunday 10th of October. It will be an early start, but if you are interested in helping out please contact Ian Upton at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . We need as many helpers as we can get!

Michael McIntyre will have the Mac Express taxing on the St Bernard's runway and ready for take off at 11:30am; destination... Sandown Relays! As a low cost carrier, there will be no delaying take off for late passengers, so please be at St Bernard's by 11:20. Please email Michael if you intend to catch the bus, so he has an idea of numbers. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Once again a large contingent of KSB runners head to Sydney to compete in one of the world's largest fun runs. Many were seasoned Sydney veteran, but only by the number of times they had competed, not by age. Each has their own love/hate relationships with various 'features' of the course.... most notably "Heartbreak Hill". Read Below for results and Micheal McIntyre's detailed report.

Once again some hearty club members headed down to Strathmore, to compete for personal pride in the the Boeing Reserve Handicap Race. Since the Saturday evening of last years event, the Upton super computer, big enough to fill a lounge room, has been preforming complex algorithms and calculations. Feed on a diet of each competitors personal results, it regurgitates one  of the most accurate (or so we are told) handicap programs available.

While the race course is now well know, many runners realized for the first time why the park is named 'Boeing Reserve'. Its because the return leg feels like you are running head first into the jet stream of Boeing 747!!

Once again Greg Moore, was victorious in the male race, while Tania in the women's. Full results are below

The campaigning has begun!! While we have all know it has been coming, it's now only around the corner.The contenders have been out hitting the streets, convincing us of their worth. They have been informing us of their past achievements and making promises about the future! With not long till that weekend decider, things are getting serious! NO! I'm not talking about the election, I'm talking about the Melbourne Marathon!

With less then 8 weeks, KSB would like to invite those participating in the Marathon, as well as those interested in a long run, to join 3 scheduled pack training runs. The first is to be held this Sunday, leaving St Bernrad's at 8:30 am!

The details for the runs are as follows-

On Sunday 8th of August the Victorian Roadwalking Championships were held at Albert Park.
Carly Bertrand competed in the Open 5km event, finishing as the fastest female walker in a time of 29.36.
Georgia Bertrand also competed in the U12 2km walk, finishing 4th in her age, with a time of 11.43.
Congratulations to both girls!

Oppps... KSB made a mistake. We recently published the next event as being the Boeing Reserve Handicap, on the 28th of August at Sandown Park. It was meant to read 14th August (this Saturday!), at the Boeing Reserve . Check the events section for directions and map!

Our condolences to Jim Farrel and family following  the sad loss of his wife of 60 years, Bonnie.
Jim and a number of his family were members of our club for a long time.

Due to 'technical difficulties, caused by underground power lines, results from Saturdays A.V run at Lake Wendouree will be delayed. Back up video footage will allow A.V to register results not captured with the electronic tages.

We would like to make a special thanks to Mick Drennan for spending his time on saturday at the coliban relays to help out with managing the relay teams. it was very much appreciated buy everyone

And also to Michael McIntyre for driving the bus and arranging all the pick up points and the exact times the runners would be at those points. He put alot of effort into making this possible and making it work very well for everyone. .
