November 5 ~ Those of you who
knew MARK PERRY of Cobra RC will be equally shocked and
saddened to learn that he passed away last Friday night (30th October)
as a result of a tragic accident. Mark was only 36 years old, and was
a regular at many local races, ultras and Cross Country - Mark's last
race was the Senneley's Park league race where he was competing in the
same Division as our club. Mark was also the mainstay of the Cobra
Classic, and will of course be greatly missed by members of Cobra RC,
and the wider running community. Our thoughts at this terrible time go
out to mark's family, his wife and three young children
