Summary

Place & Date Depicted
Jackson Reserve, Outlook Road, Coburg, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 07 Feb 1989
A sign on the building in the background of this image is for the Coburg Harriers Athletics Club, which was based at the Harold Stevens Athletic Field, at Jackson Reserve on Outlook Road in East Coburg. The presentations in other images of this event in the same album were taken inside a building with running information posters on the wall. Many of the runners were also wearing what appears to be Coburg running club singlets with a club logo. Finally, the Kodak factory is located in Coburg. It is therefore more than likely that the Kodak Challenge event took place at the Coburg Harriers Athletics Club facilities at the Harold Stevens Athletic Field, at Jackson Reserve on Outlook Road in East Coburg. -
