Runners seek teams to run Three Peaks
Every year the race committee endeavours to find race teams needing people to fill vacancies.
For the 2005 race already the race organisers have received requests from seven hopeful athletes wanting to join teams.
"We regularly have runners from Australia, Scotland, New Zealand and the USA looking to join a race team. Any sailor planning to compete can be assured on enlisting very competent long distant runners, many of whom can assist with sailing tasks," said race director Alastair Douglas.
The Three Peaks starts at Beauty Point on Good Friday, 25th March 2005 and ends in Hobart three to four days later. Runners from each team scale Mt Strzelecki on Flinders Island, Mt Freycinet at Coles Bay and Mt Wellington in Hobart, crossing the finishing line at Constitution Dock. The race, now in its 17th year, covers approximately 335 nautical miles of sailing and 131 kilometres of road, track and mountain running.
Entries for the 2005 Hydro Tasmania Three Peaks Race are open until Friday, 18th February 2005.
