Tonight, we had 26 starters in cloudy and overcast conditions.  It was a course for mud runners.  Some handled the conditions very well.  Others like David McCann, who did his virtual run earlier came to grief down the rough hilly path.  However, like a true runner, he managed to ignore the pain and continue running. 

We were fortunate to have 4 young men on a surfing holiday, who noticed the activity around the starting line and decided to join in.  They were on a holiday from Newcastle after finishing their final year of university.  Their names are Tyler Hobson, James Campbell, Zac Morgan and Nathaniel Elginn.  They each ran the 5 kilometres and Tyler pushed Daniel Beby all the way to the finish.

Tori Hennig came along proudly wearing her medal for winning her age group in the 30-kilometre Coastal Classic last weekend.  She was joined in the event by three Broulee runners Gillian Stapleton and Ren Lefevre.  Gill managed 4th place in her group.

We welcomed Rachel Cootes to her first run with the group.
