Right in the heart of the Hunter Valley wine region, this is a lovely place surrounded by vineyards and wineries.

    Great time. Well done. I believe that Sydney overtakes NYC marathon for elevation gain in a major. Now that it will be an Abbott major in 2025 I hope the crowds will be better. It looked quite quiet for a lot of the race. Next year the race will be moved to August so maybe they will start it later in the day and hopefully that will encourage spectators. I ran NYC marathon earlier this month and the crowds were unbelievable. I get goosebumps remembering the wall of noise there. Sydney will really have to go up a gear to make it worthy of being a major. Nice video, thanks for sharing your experience.

    • @NERunner

      Thanks for watching and commenting, Mark. It's a super course and certainly challenging. I gave the organisers feedback to suggest having more entertainment along Anzac Parade and Centennial Park to encourage more spectators to attend. It was a very early start, so a bit later in the morning would probably help. It's a little disappointing that we didn't get a WMM star retrospectively too, but that's what they always said.

    Hi Simon, great video. I'm running this next Saturday and the weather on the day (and leading up to it) is looking like a washout. I'm trying to work out whether to go road or trail (Inov8 Trailfly G270) so was wondering what the ratio of road to trail surfaces was like and if there were any areas that had the potential to get really muddy/boggy in those conditions? Thanks.

    • @NERunner
      @NERunner Рік тому

      Thanks Karl, I hope it's given you a good feel for the event. Most of it is off road but on tarmac paths. The trail parts are between Crawcrook and Greenside, then again around Chopwell Woods, and finally a bit when you get to Derwent walk area. In my view only Chopwell might be claggy if it's very wet I ran it in road shoes and that's what I'd choose this weekend too.

      @@karlmaguire234 No problem, Karl :) It was all well marked and marshalled but I think some joker had been messing on with the directions markers, hopefully it was a one off. The only place that caused any problems was coming up from Wylam (heading south) where you bear left off Sled lane (w3w.co/dock.slept.shortens), then there's another bear left at the top of the hill (w3w.co/plotter.windpipe.pranced), followed by a switch back onto the side of the B6137 (w3w.co/flattered.asleep.finders - which heads west out of Crawcrook. You need to cross the road, and bypass (A695) to head up "anklebreak alley" which properly called Coalway Lane. Apart from that small section it's very obvious. 🙂 I hope that helps.

      It's not that warm in an Australian summer, Fred. It's really just room temperature so it doesn't feel hot or cold when you're outside :)

      I'm glad you enjoyed it Phil, it was a lovely location and quite challenging too :). The rain was a bit of a surprise, but they've been getting a lot of that in eastern Australia recently. We drove along past the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers for a while where there was still a lot of flooding.

      It's easy to get out of the habit of going to them. It took me a year after it returned after lockdown to get back to one!!!

    Well done Simon and Louise! Fabulous views as well. Watch out for snakes….. 🐍. Not a warning I’ve heard on a Park Run before! 😂

      :) Yes, it was a first for me on a parkrun, although I do have a story about running and bening very aware of brown snakes in the vicinity. And on one of the runs on this trip we did have to avoid a red-bellied black snake in the road: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bellied_black_snake

      I had seen a snake on the course once ( the old course) when I did a freedom run once.

      Snakes are not something we get warned about in UK parkruns, although there are a few in some of the more rural locations - but they are very shy. The biggest risk is dog poo in the park!!!

    I bet that was one epic trip Simon! I am extremely jealous! Some stunning scenery out there! Can't wait until I can don a vest for running again. Good to catch up with you mate! 😎🤘

      It was a fab trip, Ben. I can heartily recommend planning a crazy journey like that. We covered 3,150 miles in total, through ever changing landscapes - memorable hardly describes it. Planning the next one now 🤠 But first I've got a few more Aussie runs to edit together. Thanks for watching 🙂
