SUMMARY:Dyson Relay 3.8k
DESCRIPTION:The Frank Dyson Relay is the third oldest event on the APSOC calendar. It was first held in 1939\, but was suspended during the war years between 1942 and 1945. The race resumed in 1946 and has been held every year since then on the famous Tan track around the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. \nWhen looking at previous results\, the older team and fastest lap times appear slower than in recent years\, but this is because the original course included extra distance beyond the Tan track to create a 4 km circuit. Since 1989\, all runners have been required to run a single 3.82 km lap. The current start and relay changeover point is near Government House Drive. Runners travel in a clockwise direction\, so that the initial section is relatively flat to the bottom of the feared Anderson Street hill. From the top of Anderson Street\, there is a mostly downhill run to the finish. \nThere have been many outstanding performances over the years in this event\, including Steve Austin’s lap of 10:55 at 40 years of age\, but none better than Matt Clarke’s incredible time and course record of 10:45.6 in 2019. The women’s course record is currently held by Anna Thompson (OW) at 12:12. Old Scotch’s winning team in 2001 clocked 1:07.26\, an average of 11:14 per runner.

SUMMARY:Alan Hooley Relay
DESCRIPTION:Alan Hooley acted as APSOC Chief Official for more than twenty years\, commencing in the mid-1970’s. He was also the co-founder of the event which now bears his name\, the Alan Hooley Relay. Alan passed away in 2014. \nFormerly known as the Gilwell Park Relays\, this race was first held in 1978. Gilwell Park is a scout camp in a hilly forest area\, containing numerous forest trails\, making it an ideal venue for cross country running. But from 2013\, the event moved to Karkarook Park in Moorabbin with its flat and fast trails\, and then in 2015\, to scenic Nortons Park\, Wantirna South\, and finally to the present venue\, Braeside Park\, in 2023. Since 2013\, relay legs have been 3 km in length. \nThe Hooley Relay is unique on the APSOC calendar by reason of the requirement for each team member to run twice. There are no restrictions on running order\, but almost all teams adopt the tactic of giving each runner the maximum possible recovery time between legs\, so that in open four person teams\, the first runner will also run the fifth leg\, the second runner the sixth leg\, and so on. \nThe open team results for the event are interesting\, with Old Xaverians winning eight in a row 1978-85\, Old Scotch ten in a row 1992-2001 and Haileybury six in a row 2003-2008. \nAll athletes are requested to bring a contribution to afternoon tea. There is no available electricity and so athletes are encouraged to bring their own hot water for tea and/or coffee.
