Hot one for the Harriers

Australia finished second in the Backyard Ultra World Team Championship at Kembla Grange, south of Sydney, with 1069 yards. The United States won with 1120 yards, and Belgium took bronze. Dan Camac was the last Australian standing, completing 87 laps. Traralgon Harriers then tackled a hot run and walk course in the bushland north of Toongabbie, where Sav Mavrofridis and Karen Graham were the quickest finishers. The club's next event is a Halloween dress-up run at the Railway Reservoir Reserve in Traralgon.
