Winds from the South Pole greeted the 48 starters in this evening’s run. This motivated everyone to take off as quickly as possible. The only exception was one small child, who took off in the opposite direction with his mother in hot pursuit.
The initial pace resulted in 13 personal best times. These were recorded by Leila and Emma Patyus, Selby Johnstone, Christian Proksch, Jo and Liz Pirro, Sunni West, Amelia Wilkes, Mary Anderson, Morgan Pettit, Greg Flood, Prue Bartlett and Brock Gilligan.
It was a night for the young athletes to shine with outstanding performances from Leila Patyus, Selby Johnstone, Sunni West and Amelia Wilkes, a special mention must go to Amber Domeny, who tackled the 5 kilometres.
