Caboolture Historical Village Dusk to Dawn 2013
Caboolture Historical Village has been providing their grounds for this event since about 1994 but I do not think they would have ever expected the event to have grown in popularity as displayed this year.
There were over 268 entries, and over 155 competitors started at 6pm. Sadly not all finished what they set out to achieve. Of those starters, 47 finished in the 12hr, 62 in the 6hr, 2 the 100k, 4 the 50k, 11 the Marathon & 12 the Half. What a fantastic achievement for promoting the Caboolture Historical Village as a great place to run.
From conversations heard after the event all competitors were friendly not slowing any of the faster ones from accumulating some huge kms in their chosen distance.
As I did the first turn around, I did not see or experience any difficulty. Everyone appeared to listen to announcements & followed the instructions. This helps in keeping the event running smoothly, so thanks.
The weather was great apart from being slightly humid for some South Aussies. One comment made, “I was hoping for a small shower to wash away some sweat, but still all good”.
My only complaint is with myself, I always mix up the medals for the relay teams. I never seem to get that right. Thank heavens everyone understands. One day I will surprise you all & myself.
Thanks
I will not mention any particular competitors for we all know who the outstanding stars were, congratulations to them, as well to all podium finishers. Well done to everyone who attended, & registered. Hope you achieved your goal. You are all winners for being there at the finish. . Congratulate yourself for all the hard work to get the distance recorded, then go back asking yourself, “am I happy or could I have done more”. Only you can answer that. Some made it look easy, others struggled a bit, but all in all you were there at the finish, again well done everyone.
Results are available on the Timing Plus website.
As for praise, top shelf has to go to Timing Plus for another brilliant job in time keeping & presentation during & after. That huge TV showing the competitors crossing the mat attracted a larger crowd than any grand final. Many walked away in disbelief of how forward time keeping has traveled from the early days, making statements “that is so fantastic, clear & quick”. Again well done Timing Plus.
As well everyone will be saying today, “where or when did he get that shot?”.
That will mean Tim and Rohan from Dreamsport Photography have done their job again perfectly snapping those glorious shots of as many competitors possible for display. What surprises me is they are so fresh & clear. Another job well done, thanks. Photos can be purchased with a great deal of every photo of yourself for only $59.
Thanks also has to go to my personal little band of helpers, Kerrie, Paul, Darren & my wife Betty. Thank you all for your added hours in setting up & dismounting all the pegs, poles, tables, chairs, lights, marques. Without you my job would be much larger.
Thank you to our sponsor Endura for their continued support with products & merchandise, keeping competitors hydrated & comfortable. Woolworths Caboolture for a voucher allowing the purchase of goods for the event. Alpha Omega Engraving for all the great trophies & medals plus their patience with me while trying to sort out all the categories for labels on the medals.
Finally again thanks to all competitors for your continued support in holding this event and to the many side kicks positioned around the track cheering everyone on.
It is all of you who make this event what it has become today. We have record holders returning again & again to run among those breaking into ultra running. Freely giving advice when asked, on the track, during competition. Where in any other sport does one get that? Where in any other sport does one have inspiring crowds cheering each on by name? What a great atmosphere created by those loving to come to this event to just do that. Thank you.
With all the good people now around me, Timing Plus, Dreamsport Photography & my helpers, I feel proud & confident in what has taken many years to achieve to now be able to say,” this is a great event”
Thank you competitors see you at the 20th Caboolture Dusk to Dawn.
Cheers
Geoff Williams
Race Director
Welcome Everyone,
There are some important messages for all race participants – these will be repeated in a pre race briefing but are included here to hopefully answer all questions about the running of the event.
Timing
Electronic timing chips will be used and must be laced to either shoe not the ankle. Two (2) chips will be given to each relay team helping to save change over time delays.
A TV will be placed near the main mats showing everyone’s distance as they cross the mat, this will also be a live telecast from this website link.
Collecting chips & T-shirts.
There will be three (3) points for chip collection
- Solo Entries
- 6hr Relays
- All Other Relays
- T-shirt collection Only.
Please stand in the right line otherwise your time is wasted.
Racing Instructions
The start for all events will be at 6pm sharp. Please have relay members at the front as they will start faster. All event starts at 6pm whether you are ready or not.
Marathon & Half Marathon competitors will start back from the start line and the rest of the field by the additional metres needed for the event lengths so that when they finish it will be after crossing the mat directly in front of the timing guys.
The track will be very full for the first 6hrs, so please exercise good sportsmanship during the event.
Turn around opposite side of track at every hour. This will be announced and there will be an event official at the turn around point directing you.
iPods and MP3 players are allowed but MUST be kept at low volume. Many announcements will be made & must be heard. Failure to hear instructions will see the devices banned totally.
Other things to note
There will be a hot breakfast after the event about 7pm next to the Boiling Billy Tea Room. Please bring your pre-paid receipts. Others welcome for $10/person.
Twitter Hashtags #geoffsruns and #dusktodawn will be used for live race updates. Follow us at https://twitter.com/GeoffsRuns. Also check the facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/GeoffsRuns

A chip will be given to each solo competitor & relay team. It is to be secured flat to either shoe to record each crossing of the mat. Relay member after crossing the mat for the last time, step off the track where you remove the chip, hand to your next team member who will secure the chip to their shoe & return to the course without crossing the mat. They will continue each lap crossing the mat for each lap to be recorded.

Once the Time Keeper has a decision that is final and no further discussion will be entered into. Absolutely no arguments will be permitted.

12th Annual Bribie Beach Bash
![clip_image003[8]](http://geoffsruns.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/clip_image0038_thumb.jpg "clip_image003[8]")
This iconic running event is now in its 12th year. From a gentle 3km stroll or run through to the full 50 kms of the Bribie beach run there is an event for every member of the family. As always, the date is chosen to coincide with a very low tide, so that we run on the hard flat sand at the water’s edge. The beach itself is hard sand lightly pebbled in places with a few shallow creek crossings in the longer runs only.
The event is cheap to enter as it is run at a small profit with proceeds being given to our beneficiary Multiple Sclerosis Qld. It is an affordable day out for the family with a BBQ to follow.
There are 7 Event lengths

COME ALONG FOR A FUN RUN /WALK. EAT, DRINK & LAUGH FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS QLD.
YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN
Laurie – “Many thanks for a well organised event. Timing system was fantastic. Great to see lap times and distance covered. Live timing was great too. I’m absolutely stoked at my first all nighter/12 hour. Didn’t expect that distance especially as I don’t perform as well in the cold. The trophy is outstanding. Different and distinctful. Love it. Many thanks to you and your team.”
Cassie – “Well done Geoff – absolutely fantastic run (pardon the pun) event!!! Timing chips huge success – beats the heck out of lap scorers. And thx for your encouragement on sat morn in getting me back out on the track.
Mallani – “Superb event Geoff, the timing system was FANTASTIC. It was soo very handy to see my lap time each and every lap. I wasn’t fussed about not seeing the placings as with these kind of events it’s not always necessary as you are generally doing your ‘own’ race and not racing everyone around you. Hope to see these timing guys back for Dusk to Dawn.”
Stephanie – “Thanks for such a great event Geoff! Perfect place or my first 6hr – what a great experience!”
Sarah – “Thanks for a great event guys! I really enjoyed it and it was good to meet so many awesome people! 
”
Bill B – “Thanks Geoff to you Betty and all your helpers for putting on a great day, CRR,s had a ball.”
Stephen – “Cheers for an excellent run. Loved it, lollys an all. Book me in for next year Geoff… ”
