Bathurst Edgell Jog
Bathurst Edgell Jog
Sunday 17th September 2017
For More Information click here
The Edgell Jog commenced in 1976 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Edgell organisation.
Edgell was the first company in Australia to start canning vegetables with the launch of Edgell Asparagus in 1926 in Bathurst. It is an Australian icon synonymous with quality-canned vegetables, prized for taste, convenience and value for money. In 1995 Simplot Australia founded when Edgell was acquired by the JR Simplot Company. Simplot Australia is now the major sponsor of this non-profit community event.
The first jog attracted 800 competitors and was called the Jubilee Jog. Over the years the total number of participants is in excess of 50,000.
With the rise in awareness to health and fitness through exercise, the Edgell Jog promises an enjoyable family fun outing and the category and draw prizes for finishing within the 90 minute time limit is an extra incentive.
Many local businesses support the Jog each year with prizes or cash. All our valuable sponsors and supporters are acknowledged on our Sponsors page.
Local service organisations including Rotary, Quota, Scouts and Guides give voluntary support on race day and in turn are acknowledged by a cash donation. Any surplus funding is donated to worthy local charities, selected by the committee each year.
The long standing race record held by Robert McDonald of 21.51 minutes (1980) was broken by Shaun Creighton in 1997 with 21.46 minutes. The ladies record stands at 25.33 minutes and is held by Sonia Terry (1989).
The first three male and female competitors to finish receive cash prizes of $1,000, $500 and $300 respectively and if the course record is broken then an additional $500 will be awarded.
In 2011 the Bathurst Edgell Jog course changed from an 8km event to a 7.5km event to ensure competitor safety when crossing the Great Western Highway.

Parent Information Night
“Parent Help” Information Session
We would like to invite all NEW and RETURNING parents to an information session to learn whats involed and how you can HELP during the 2017-2087 season.
Unlike other sports Athletics is very hands on and involves children in individual age groups of boys and girls completing a number of events each night. To enable this to happen smoothly we need a number of parent helpers for each age group.
As parents we all remember when we were new to athletics and had little idea about how events were run or how we could assist on the night. The aim of this information session is to give you the confidence to step up and assist each week which in turn will allow our nights to run more efficiently.
Our Committee is dedicated to ensuring that we offer Parent Helpers the knowledge, tools and ongoing support required to help with any event.
Without Parent Help our Club could not run let alone exist and our children would simply be unable to complete their events each week.
On behalf of the Committee, we encourage you to attend this Information Session that we anticipate to go for about an hour. We look forward to meeting you!
