Just over forty runners completed the 5k, 15k, 30km event from Northview Gardens early Sunday morning.
The new course was announced by Vice-President, Brendan Bishop who did a great job explaining the twists and turns with the 30km runners heading out to the Harbour via a West Mackay loop to the Botanic Gardens.
The 5km and 15km runners started fifteen minutes after the 30km runners who were sent on their way at 6am.
Paul Mackenzie and Mick Vivian were a great support to each other with Paul being the eventual victor in 2 hours 9 minutes earning himself maximum overall and age category club championship points.
First female in the 30km, Carolyn Mapes admirably stepped up to the longer distance stopping the clock in 2hrs 44 seconds.
Darren Pullen was in excellent form taking out the 5km with Lauren Connor securing the female 5km crown. Toby Rule took out the 15km event with brother, Oliver, close behind in second. First female in the 15km was Alana Knesevic.
This Sunday’s event will be the historical Farmer’s Long Gallop from Life Member Agnes Farmer’s home on 62 Evans Ave, North Mackay.
