COOK's TOUR
May 17th produced a typical Autumn day ... for Woodford anyway, which meant a temperature reaching about 26C while still carrying the chill of the early morning through until 9:00 am.
The Glasshouse 50 generated record participation this year. Quite apt to kick of the 20th year of Glasshouse Trails. The feature race was taken out in stellar fashion by New Zealander, Deb Nicholl (more latterly of Kangaroo Point, Brisbane) Read more ...

TWENTY YEARS OF GLASSHOUSE TRAILS
As has been reported previously, 2009 coincides with the 20th year of the series. With this in mind and given the large numbers this year, particularly in the shorter races (30km is still 30km though, right?), 2009 is expected to be bigger and better.
With Ian Javes having celebrated his 66th birthday on the weekend of the GH100, we'll be looking to spread the load a bit as I've no dooubt he'll be wanting to enter the 100 miler himself come September 2009, right Ian? Watch this space for upcoming news on both the coming year and general goings on.
Also, we will be looking to recognise some of the regular competitors at Glasshouse and the 'NEWS' page (above left) has been updated with details how we'll look to do this.

"Sometime I feel a bit disillusioned with the world. I worry that we are becoming a society of selfish, self centered people that are only concerned with themselves. Then I experience an event like the Glasshouse. It is a gathering of people who all selflessly want one thing – for every runner to have the best race they can possibly have."
Tim Turner, 2006
