SUMMARY:Lodge Handicaps 8/16k
DESCRIPTION:From 1961\, St Kevin’s AAC hosted a 10 mile (16 km) handicap race\, starting and finishing within the school grounds. Until 1986\, the handicap winner received the Peter Secombe trophy\, but St Kevin’s AAC wished to recognise the contribution of the Lodge family and the event became known thereafter as the Lodge Handicap. In 1988\, by popular demand\, an 8 km event was added\, giving runners the choice of two distances. \nThe 16 km course has changed markedly over the years. It used to comprise two 8 km laps from St Kevin’s College to the Yarra Boulevard then through Scotch College\, but traffic and safety issues forced the race to be moved to the mostly flat bike path along the Yarra River. 2021 saw another course change\, this time starting and finishing at the new St Kevin’s campus in Tooronga. \nThere have been some fast times on the Yarra bike path\, particularly in the 8 km\, where record holders Drew Cole (OX) 24:06 and Abi Bayley (OX) 27:30 have torn up the course. But John Cormack (OS) has hung on to his 16 km record of 50:09 since 1984\, set on the old course. This is the second oldest APSOC course record\, which clearly demonstrates the high quality of the performance. Anna Thompson holds the women’s 16 km record of 57:45. \nRecords on the new course are: \nMen 8k Adam Pyke (OW) 24:23\, 16k Ben Haseler (OX) 53:11 \nWomen 8k Anna Kasapis 30:03\, 16k Karen Thorp 60:20. \nThe Lodge Handicaps start at 2.00 pm\, half an hour earlier than the usual APSOC race starting time\, and all runners must check in at the St Kevin’s campus by 1.50 p.m (16k) or 2.30 p.m (8k).

SUMMARY:Jamieson 5k
DESCRIPTION:The Alex Jamieson 5km teams race and sealed handicap at Scotch College is one of the highlights of the APSOC calendar. The event was first held in 1950 and women first competed in 1981. It has been the traditional opening race of our winter season since 1995. The usually kind weather\, convenient location and short course length has proved to be an attractive mix\, resulting in fields of over 200 runners. Check-in is between the tennis courts and the Cardinal Club boatshed at the Yarra River end of Morrison Street. The runners then walk through the school back to the soccer pitch for the start of the race. There is car parking opposite the tennis courts and along Morrison Street. \nThe Jamieson course was changed for the 2015 race with the removal of the famous Glenferrie Road hill. The new course remains a varied one\, with the terrain from flat ground to short\, sharp hills. Running surfaces are generally good. The course commences with a spectacular charge from the soccer pitch across the rugby and around the boundary of the lower ovals\, before a tight U-turn takes runners up on to the Gardiners Creek levee bank. Then it’s back around the soccer pitch before the competitors must climb the service road to the Main Oval. From there\, the runners turn right and head for the Monash Drive past the chapel and out into Morrison Street. Then there is a slight downhill section almost to the river\, where runners cut back left to follow the Gardiners Creek levee bank once again. The same circuit (levee bank-soccer pitch-service road-Main Oval-Monash Drive-Morrison Street-levee bank is repeated until the runners dip down from the levee bank and head back around the lower ovals and across the rugby oval to the finish line on the soccer pitch. \nAs the Jamieson is a scratch race with all competitors starting together\, the handicap event is a “sealed” handicap\, based on runners’ previous performances in the APSOC competition. The Jamieson has a long and proud history. Old Scotch Collegians Athletic Club provides a generous afternoon tea after the race on the Cardinal Club balcony overlooking the Yarra River\, at which the team and individual awards are announced. \nCourse records: \nOld course: Men – Paul Wilson (OS) 14:47 1998; Women – Anna Thompson (OW) 16:03 2006 \nNew course: Men – David McNeill (OX) 15:17.0 2019; Women – Michaela Parsons (OH) 18:10.2 2019
