The 28th Pichi Richi Marathon was another big success with
a record number of 390 entrants. The weather gods helped the event with a
bit of wind and plenty of sun. This year Mark Bloomfield was crowned King
of the Ranges after a great fight with local favourite Yilma Woldgabreal.
The Queen of the Ranges title went to Mandy Towler for the second time in a row.
For the first time in its history the Pichi Richi marathon
included a race for the young active generation: the 1 Km Fun Run or IGA
Quorn Junior Dash. Most participants only have seen the back of winner
Bernhard Viljoen. The full results can be viewed in the Results
page. The age category winners are shown below: AGE

QUOTES FROM RUNNERS "The
Pichi Richi event has become my personal favourite marathon (having done
Adelaide, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road and Paris, etc) because of the
landscape, the intimate nature and solitude of the run and the gentle
upward slope through the hills that is inspiring. This is why I have
always organised a group of SA Road Runners to accompany me each year in
this event." "The Pichi Richi run has
the challenge of a steep course, but not too slow as it's all on sealed
roads. It's uphill all the way, so that 'second wind' never quite kicks
in - but what an amazing sense of achievement when you cross the finish
line. It's great running in the really fresh air of the Flinders Ranges,
too."
