Long time club runner Kurt Geier took out the Running Company 6.4k at Heritage Forest today! The first race of the season saw 75 runners across three divisions tackle the Heritage Forest/North Bank tracks in breezy but still warm conditions. Sam and Pete Wierenga made 2nd and 3rd places a family affair, while club champion Amy Lamprecht was the fastest female in 26.05. Casey Mainsbridge flew home to take out fastest male in 24.40!
In the division two 2.5k Charlotte Rogers came in 1st ahead of her sister Chelsea, with new comer Mackenzie Roberts taking out 3rd place. Mackenzie was also the fastest female in 11.01, while Benjamin Frost was the fastest male in 9.45.
The division three 1.5k was won by Samuel Dettmer, with Ella Mannion and Hannah Zegveld taking out 2nd and 3rd. the fastest male in division 3 was Luke McHugh in a time of 5.16 and the fastest female was Averyl Quinn in a time of 5.41.
Thanks to everyone who participated today and was patient with the long delays that inevitably happen on the first race of the season – next week WILL be better 🙂
Next week is the Rik-Rob Deer Farm 8k at Evandale – the very popular venison steaks and patties available as a reward for your 8k jog 🙂
