We would’ve been well underway in what was supposed to be the third running of TRSA’s Five Peaks SA Trail Running Festival and what perfect weather it would have been. But seeing as we can’t be out there running or supporting our friends and family today in this event, let’s reminisce about the last 2 years! Show us your favourite photos or tell us your best memory of Five Peaks!

Don’t forgot, if you were registered for any event in the Five Peaks SA Trail Running festival, your entry is automatically transferred to our new event date of Sunday August 2. If you cannot run on the postponed date, you can request a full refund here: tinyurl.com/r9kt3lh by Thursday 2 July 2020. Refunds are processed in bulk every week until 2 July 2020. ...

Well it's fair to say the TRSA V4 Series started with a bang! It also seems to have coincided with the rest of Adelaide discovering what they have on their back doorstep when it comes to the great outdoors.

This is new territory for TRSA, in fact for all of us, so we're adapting as fast as we can. We appreciate your support and patience as we implement changes as and when needed.

Firstly, we have set up a dedicated group - Trail Running SA V4 Series for ALL things virtual series. We encourage you to post questions, feedback, suggestions, and friendly banter in that group or if you prefer, flick us an email at crotherytrsa@gmail.com.

Secondly, we will take note of the feedback, as well as any updates to SA Health and National Parks guidelines and make changes as required to ensure we are continuing to encourage socially responsible behaviour. In return we ask you to observe these guidelines and maintain the spirit of community trail runners are so well known for.

Thirdly, we will communicate any changes via the Trail Running SA V4 Series page and our website trailrunningsa.com/trsa-v4-series/. Shortly we'll be posting the team names list as it currently stands (you can email us with a new team anytime) as we think you all deserve a good laugh.

Please remember, we are all volunteers with the best of intentions so we appreciate your patience and support. If you'd like to help with implementing any changes, please flick us an email, we'd love your help.

Cheers,
The TRSA Committee ...

TRSA V4 Series UPDATE!

So the V4 series is underway! Runners are getting out on the trails and we are learning as we go.
things we have learnt so far ..

USE THE COURSE NOTES! if you just use the gpx file on the day you may still miss a turn, you might be chatting or otherwise distracted or the gpx might not be happening fast enough at a given moment. Familiarize yourself with the course before you go out, and note the turns.
We cant mark the courses, so the course notes are your best friend. Consider using the first attempt as a reccy run, take it easy and learn the course. You can always do it again another day and "go for it".
A lot of time has been spent gathering photos of turns and tricky bits and marking them up so please use the notes.

DO NOT RUN MULTIPLE LAPS ON THE SAME DAY
We have had some runners who have run multiple laps of the same course on the same day, we hadn't accounted for this scenario. Since we are using the "today" feature on the strava segments to collate your runs, only your fastest run will show up and we will think you have only run it once.
We have over 250 runners so far so obviously it is logistically impossible to check every runner's individual strava accounts to find the multiple runs. So ..at this stage.. please only run 1 lap of a given course each day. There is no problem running multiple different courses on the same day but please run only 1 lap of each. If you want a longer run at the same location you can just run both the short and long course on the same day, that's fine.
If you have already run multiple laps please notify us in the comments below and we will enter them manually.
We are looking at ways to streamline the data entry of results and allow for multiple laps in the future.

SEPARATE YOUR SAME DAY RUNS
If you run both course in the same location on the same day , please make them two separate activities. Stop your watch after the first run and start a new run for the second.

Have fun out there everyone, this virtual series setup is new to all of us and due to the very short setup time we are learning on the job. Enjoy running for your teams, enjoy getting out there while we can. ...
