Well done everyone who decided to get off their beds and turn up at the start line, despite the not-so-encouraging, inclement weather – you are all winners no matter what your time was!!!

Thank you to all our volunteers for being there for us along the route, serving deliciously cool drinks and pointing us in the right direction. Also big thanks to race director Daniel Chia for, yet again, comprehensive marking of the route… and also for cutting and removing the branches off that massive fallen tree along Rifle Range Link!
