the 30th edition

 

The 2010 Pichi Richi marathon attracted 406 runners and walkers to compete in different events: the full marathon, half marathon run, half marathon walk, 10.5 km run/walk and junior dash (1 km fun run). There was plenty of entertainment for the spectators with several stands and activities at the Quorn oval. It was a fine day, perfect for the partcipants and spectators.
Crowned as King and Queen of the Ranges were Stuart Elliott and Mandy Towler respectively.

In 2011 we will celebrate the 30th edition of the Pichi Richi marathon. One of the plans is to organise a display of memorabilia from the past editions. If you have any memorabilia you would like to share please contact the Committee.

The Pichi Richi Marathon is now on Facebook. Have a look for news, photos and other interesting stuff. You can become a member of the group and share your experiences with others.

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."
