City to Surf
22 August 2010
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.
Run 4 the Kids
Once again some of KSB's finest athletes broke in the winter season with the annual Run for the Kids fun run. The event has become the biggest fun run on the Victorian calendar, and continues to draw thousands of people, who cherish the chance to run over, through and under some of the cities greatest land marks! Below is a list of KSB members who competed, if you ran on the day and your name isn't there, please email KSB at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Puffing Billy
It's when Men and Women versus steel and slope. The annual Puffing Billy fun run has now become a popular, and very successful event on many KSB members calendar. While the challenge to many members may have appeared to be having to back up their run from the previous day at Jells, the greatest surprise came from old Puffing Billy; who obviously had been doing quite a bit of training since last years poor effort.

King of the Mountain
In usual wild and wintry conditions a collection KSB toughest (silliest??) souls accended Mt Macedon.
Despite the inclement weather and the fog and mist on the mountain there was a rather large turnout for the event even with a couple of stalwarts missing.
Boeing Reserve Handicap
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!!
