Run 485

It was a lovely morning for a Sunday run or walk along the banks of the Yarra today. Thanks to Jacinta for continuing to do the timing each week and, as always, a big thank you to Quinton's SUPA IGA for their donation of the fruit each week.

Three people took on the 2 km walk this morning: Paul, Mark and Rachel. In the longer distances, Cormick and James were in a sprint finish at the end of their 5 km distances, but pushed each other too hard, both coming in just before the 30 minute mark and being classified as breaking this week. The win went to Monica, who managed to come in ahead of Sandi today. Alicia stepped up to the 5 km distance and came in third place. Jon took out fourth ahead of Nada and Kieran. Peter and Randall were the last people over the line this morning.

There was one personal best time recorded this morning:
Well done to Cormick who took 34 seconds off his previous PB.

Two others were within 15 seconds of their PB:
Well run James and Sandi.

The winners of Season 29 were announced at the end of this morning's run and the trophies and medals were handed out. In the children's section, first place went to Rachel with a total of 31 points from her 11 runs, and the runner up was Matthew with 26 points from 7 runs. In the overall event, first place went to a very surprised Randall with 113 points from 17 runs, while runner up was Kieran with 111 points from 11 runs. Congratulations to everyone who ran last season. This next season will last until the end of the year (16 runs will be included).

The run results for the last run are now available under the Weekly results link below.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 14 September to 7:30 am.

New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any stage during the season.
