3 more centurion performances and another two new Australian Centurions
July 2012 was a big month for Australian walking with another 3 centurion walks and two new Australian centurions.
First to Adelaide on 14-15 July when Justin Scholz became Australian Centurion 61 with a 100 mile walk time of 22:09:03
in the South Australian 24 Hour Road Championships. Then to the weekend
of 27-29 July and the annual Australian 48 Hour and Queensland 24 Hour
Track championships which are always held over a 500m road circuit
around the Caboolture Historical Village. Barry Loveday
tried himself out in the 48 Hour walk (his first ever walking race) and
he finished second overall against the runners with 283.500km, the
longest distance ever walked in Australia and some 3 km further than
Peter Bennett's current Australian record. Peter Bennett finished 2nd
overall and first male in the 24 Hour track championship with 185.293km
to set a new Australian M55 record (and he was only 1km outside his
best ever Australian walk). Along the way, Barry passed the 100 mile
mark in 22:37:56 to become Australian Centurion 62 while Peter passed the 100 mile mark in 20:40:22, his 16th such walk.
You can read more about these fine performances in our August 2012 newsletter or on the 2012 Results page of this website.
