Peter Colthup with placegetters – 2010
You will have the opportunity to add your name to the illustrious past winners of the most handsome trophy in Masters Athletics – a magnificently crafted perpetual trophy carved by Louis Waser.
Medals will also be awarded to placegetters and there will also be fastest time medals for M40+ and W35+.
You will also be helping to remember Peter Colthup and the tremendous contribution that he made to Victorian Masters.
The 5 Miles Self Handicap will be held as part of the regular Mentone Wednesday night competition. The program will be as follows:
6.40 400m E.T.
6.45 1500m Self Handicap
6.55 60m E.T.
7.15 Road Peter Colthup 5 Miles Self Handicap
7.30 3000m E.T. Walk on track
8.30 Supper and Presentations
Entry fee of $3.00 to be paid on the night.
To facilitate handicapping the event will be conducted on a Self Handicap basis whereby you provide the starter with your estimated time for 5 miles and you will be started on the basis of your estimate but to deter an athlete seeking an advantage by submitting a slow time placegetters must not run more than 40 seconds faster than their estimate otherwise they will not be eligible for prizes.
Marge Colthup, Luke (Peter’s grandson) and the Mentone members look forward to your participation in this special Masters event.
