25.01.2022 Please tag anyone you know in the photos. To get free photos at these events now days is very special. You get all we have. I do apologize for any bad ones, lol.

23.01.2022 Date of race next year.... Sunday 29 March 2020 (TBC).

21.01.2022 Attention all, This is an eleventh hour call for a team leader and ground support for the Convicts and Wenches 50 km trail run. Due 29 March 2020 I need someone to be the on the ground leader for the day itself. This task can be shared if need be. Also we need a small team of workers (10-15) to help the team leader. ... The race will fall over if no-one puts their hand up. I’m Stephen Cornelius, Ian’s son and as an observer I have seen my father set up this race for the running community, this event has challenges, it has comradeship, it has fun and has been building over the last 10 years as an event for the community. Now as I see it the community needs to support this event so the community can benefit from the challenges of the day and I will bend over backwards to bring it all together for you. If the community doesn’t want to support this race then I can put my time to over community projects that are on my plate. Yes this is a plea as i would like to see Ian’s efforts of establishing this event grow so he can be remembered. Hope to hear from you soon.

15.01.2022 Its with great sadness that we need to let you know Ian Cornelius (the owner/organiser of the Convicts and Wenches Race) passed away late last week..

Ian has been positive figure in the Australian ultra running community for many years and he'll be greatly missed!... From all of us in Tassie - condolences to Ian's wife Cynthia and his family...

13.01.2022 Attention all, ~~NEWS FLASH~~ THE RACE WILL GO ON AS PLANNED. Following up on our plea for help it has been answered and I am pleased to announce that the Convicts & Wenches 50km Ultra trail/beach Marathon 2020 will be run on Sunday 29 March. ... There are many ultra runners in Tasmania and National and International that want this race to go on which means the run will be on. If you have ever met my father Ian Cornelius before he died or if you have entered any of the last 9 runs, will you step up and enter again? We bloody well hope so, the more that enter the more entertainment we can put on. Again let me stress that this event still needs to be supported by not only the local ultra running community but the fun runners. The Convicts & Wenches event is offering a lucky door prize to anyone that enters online or on the day in any of the distances (including the costume category) the first prize of a trip for two to the Gold Coast and entry into any of the distances in the GC100 held 7 June 2020. You and one other will Fly into the Beautiful Gold Coast from Launceston Thursday 4 June 2020 and fly home Thursday 11 June 2020. (There will be billeted accommodation in Surfers Paradise included, the photo is from the balcony of the accommodation). So Get the word out, please share this post, and get behind the Convicts & Wenches 50km Ultra trail/beach Marathon 2020 And be in the chance to win a trip for 2 to the Gold Coast.
