Geelong Cross Country Club - Beyond km Handicap
A cool morning with a strengthening wind saw a field of 64 set off in the Beyond 8 km handicap at Ocean Grove on Sunday. Fortunately much of the course along the banks of the Barwon River was sheltered.
It was second year runner, Kyle Anset who won by 100 metres from first year runner, Daniel Lawson with perennial placegetter, Susan Andrews 40 metres behind in third place. It was Anset's second club win having triumphed in the 2024 season ending Eliminator.
Rachael Thompson was acclaimed for reaching her 100 run milestone.
Thanks to all those who marshalled around the course and @movebeyond for sponsoring!

Geelong Cross Country Club - Kieser 10km Handicap Results 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏽♂️
A perfect morning for running greeted the field of 70 who fronted up for the running of the Kieser 10 km handicap at Geelong Grammar on Sunday. The out and back race along the gently undulating Hovell Park bike path was held without the usual wind.
It was club president, Kevin McNulty, who won the race by 70 metres from Sue Andrews with Peter Fuller a further 90 metres behind in third place. McNulty scored his first win at the same venue in 2000 and this time it was his sixth handicap victory. Rachael Thompson and Hamish Renkin were comfortably the fastest of their gender.
Thanks @kieseraustralia for their sponsorship and for attending to join the run and support members with massages!
