2016 Scottish Centennial Cup Races Island Bay Sat 9 Apr



Centennial Cup Results

Tearle Trophy Results

Scottish Race Report

The Le Gaye is gone replaced last year by the Centennial Cup.  The Le Gaye course is also history which means first time participants will be spared the brutally steep hill on Severn Street – a rite of passage for the newbies.


I have assumed that the Le Gaye course was dumped due to safety concerns caused by an increase in vehicle and foot traffic on the Parade especially the busy shopping centre section.
The new Centennial Cup course is an out and back 5k sealed handicap race starting on the Island Bay Esplanade   The turnaround is somewhere on the road between Island bay and Lyell Bay.  Ironically there is similarity with the old Tanadees Couse which was an 8k course starting in Lyall Bay (Maranui Surf Club) with a turnaround on the Island Bay Esplanade.  It was an open handicap race and hotly contested.

One thing that was quite noticeable on Saturday was how few children there are in Scottish. An odd thing given that other Wellington clubs seem to have dozens of them.
