Online Entries Open for First Ever Sri Chinmoy Ski Race

Online entries have opened for the inaugural Sri Chinmoy 6- and 12-Hour Ski Challenge at Perisher Valley in the southern NSW skifields on Saturday 9 September 2006...

Although the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team is active in countries with a far greater skiing 'pedigree' such as Switzerland, Austria and the Nordic countries, it is perhaps apt that the Team's first public ski race will be held in Australia.

Both 6-Hour and 12-Hour races are open to solo skiers and teams of up to 6 members.

The course will be a loop of approximately 6 kms starting from the Nordic Shelter at Perisher Valley. The 12-Hour race starts at 9 am with the 6-Hour event commencing at 3 pm: both races going into the night to conclude at 9 pm.

Enter online now.

Refer to the website for further information, or phone (02) 6248-0232 (bh); (02) 6254-7848 (ah) or (0404) 071-327 (mobile).

The second run starts from the grassed area on Badimara St, Waramanga, follows the cycle path under Tuggeranong Parkway, then turns immediately right onto Waldock St, heading uphill towards Mt Taylor. Before reaching the car park, the course departs the road through a gap next to a gate on the right, onto a graded dirt track to the left. Follow this track up a very sharp incline, the steepest climb of all the run courses. Near the summit, veer left onto a small track to touch the trig station, and pause to appreciate a drink and the very best views of South Canberra and the Brindabellas. The trail down the southern face of Mt Taylor offers further scenic rewards, with striking vistas of Tuggeranong Valley and the lake, which is the destination of this run. Near the base of the mountain, the trail comes to a T-junction with a graded track. Turn right here (toward the Brindabellas), and take the next right hand fork, hugging the mountain. After a few small roller-coaster hills, take the next fork to the left under the power lines, heading down rather than up, then left again onto a small track, where there is a drain covered by a large metal grating on the right.

After the gate, turn sharp right onto a small single-lane track (ie do not head across Sulwood Dr). Follow this inconspicuous track across Colquhoun St, then turn left onto the cycle path, passing immediately underneath Sulwood Dr, and later under Marconi Cres. Just before some playing fields, take a left fork in the path, then right at another fork between two playing fields.

You will head under the dual carriageway of Drakeford Dr, twice under O'Halloran Cirt, then under Athllon Dr, before making a LEFT turn onto the cycle path beside Lake Tuggeranong. Follow this path around until you reach Nguru Beach, where you will follow the cones across the grass to the transition to the final swim leg.
