Lap of the Tan
(start/finish is at the Pillars of Wisdom)
As we all know, Phil wholeheartedly loved Glenhuntly Athletic Club and our athletes, particularly the distance running community and XCR. The Phil Hutton Challenge aims to foster the culture and camaraderie he valued, in preparation for a successful and enjoyable winter season.
Lap of the Tan – 3.827 km
Glenhuntly athletes, friends, family and newcomers are invited to meet at the Pillars of Wisdom on Saturday 6th of April for a free, timed, one-lap race around the Tan track.
Â
Many athletes will relish the opportunity to set an early benchmark at the beginning of the season, something by which to measure their progress throughout the XCR season which ultimately culminates in the Tan Relays as the XCR finale in September.
You don't have to be a registered Glenhuntly AC member to participate.
Entry is open to all, and we encourage newcomers.
The event will also provide athletes, families, friends and newcomers the opportunity to gather together before the commencement of the XCR season, to get to know their Team Managers and fellow XCR participants.
