The Concrete Shoe Trophy – CHALLENGE YOURSELF

The prestigious Concrete Shoe trophy

The Concrete Shoe Trophy is our most prestigious award because the winner must endure the greatest amount of pain in order to win it!! – and this year we have a new way for the winner to show us their strength:

The 2025 Concrete Shoe will be awarded to the 100km runner who can maintain the longest ‘wall sit’ in a head to head battle with their counterparts! The contest is only open to those who raced the 100km the day before, and we’ll line all the contenders up side by side and the winner is the last man / woman standing (or sitting!).

  • When: 9:50am (immediately before presentations)
  • Where: Anglesea Lawn Bowls Club
  • How: Sitters must have their backs against the wall, hands by their side and knees at 90deg for the longest period. OUCH!

This will be a fun spectacle to watch and we encourage everyone to come down and cheer on contestants. [Previous winners of the concrete Shoe trophy include: Thomas Dade (three times!), David Eadie, Jason Rawlings, Francesco Ciancio, Shona Stephenson, Brendan Davies, Andy Turner, Edward James and Stuart Hughes (twice!)]
