Welcome to the Griffith Feral Tri 'ards
This is the official web page for the Griffith Feral Tri 'ards - a single place where you can find all you need to know about running and triathlon in Griffith NSW.
The joggers meet every Saturday at the Green Water Tower opposite Pioneer Park at 4.30 pm or 5.30 pm in Daylight Saving Time.
This Week:
I think, in terms of the weather, I was lucky to have been offered a shift and could think about all you lot in Run Five of the Summer Series of Social Runs from the air conditioned comfort of the supermarket. Only one more opportunity exists for you to enjoy the non combative nature of the social runs - enjoy before the onslaught of the Bacchus Competition.
Speaking of Bacchus, scroll down to the Archive photo. This is one from our private collection. The man running with Neil is Dave. He was an exchange PE teacher from Wales. He was particularly impressed that he could go home from work in the same clothes he arrived in when he worked in Australia ... and he developed a taste for the sweet red wine made by McManus Wines.
Last week's archive image attracted a bit of attention from someone who would like more information. My correspondent, Michael, ran the 1979 Griffith Marathon and would like more details of the marathons in 1980, 1981 and 1982. Does anyone have any information or know someone who does? Please get in touch with me if you do, and I will organise and information swap. He has given me dates for those three events and I will do some research in the library.
It's that time of year when there are potential Away Games for adventurous Ferals. Temora has a triathlon to co-incide with the Temora Gift in February and Narrandera is gearing up for a weekend of multisport madness in March. I'll put what links I have on the Events and Results Page. If you know of other events that you think Ferals might like, let me know and I will add them to the list.
While you're on the Events and Results page, scroll down. You will see that there are results for competitions going back to 2005. I'm sure you'll find enough nostalgia - and glory days - to keep you out of mischief on the long hot days ahead.

welcome
The electronic tags are our
only method of tracking
your progress. They
are not only for timing, but also checking … who has gone out? … who has
not come back! … and tracking your kilometres.
Keep your tags with your
shoes. No tag - no
time - no exceptions.
Handicaps are important. See the FAQ page for why.

The start line of the 1979 Hanwood Marathon. Do you recognise anyone? Let us know if you do.
Do you know who this is? It came from the Area News archives. That's the old, old fence around the water tank and certainly a bit of growth there on the track.
