Run 455

This weekend saw 12 runners or walkers down by the Yarra for the weekly run. Thanks to Jacinta for doing the timekeeping this week before completing her run. We welcomed two new competitors this week in Linda and Connie. It was great to see you here and we hope to see you again.

Two competitors took the 2 km walk option - Nada and Stephen. In the longer runs, Jozica came back from her holiday and was in fine form, coming in before the 30 minute mark and breaking this week. That left the win open for Cormack, and the first five places came in within 25 seconds of each other. Kieran took out second place only a second ahead of Monica. Alicia and Atsuko were not far behind. Linda was awarded sixth place, and Steve, Jacinta and Connie rounded out the rest of the field.

Two runners managed to run personal best times today:
Cormick took 35 seconds off his previous 5 km best time, and
Kieran took 24 seconds off his PB.

No-one else was within 15 seconds of their PB.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 16 February at 7:30 am.

We announced the winners of last season and awarded their trophies and medals. In the kids section, the winner of Season 27 was Matthew (75 points) with Alicia (52 points) runner up. In the adult division, Randall took out the win with a total of 146 points for the season including 6 wins. Peter was in second place with 74 points. Congratulations to all 31 of the runners who competed in Season 27.

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