THE South East Runners' event last Thursday evening was held to help celebrate the Festival of the Wind.

Runners and walkers were set the task of making their way between the windmills at the 10-mile Lagoon Wind Farm in any course of their choosing. Each of the 15 windmills had a hole punch of a different decorative design, and competitors were required to punch a card as evidence that they had actually reached the correct number of windmills.

The shortest event required a visit to 4 windmills, the next being 9 windmills, and the longest event of course involved all 15, a distance of around 9km. The run and the scenery were superb, and this looks like being a regular event in the SER calendar.

There will not be a run next Thursday, with the next event being a cross-country run starting at 9am on Sunday morning at Lake Monjingup. BYO morning tea to share after the event.
