Tuckers Funeral Services 8 000 metre Handicap
A strong wind greeted the field of 61 who turned out for the running of the Tuckers Funeral Services 8 km memorial handicap at Waurn Ponds on Sunday morning. The flat course around the Waurn Ponds Creek paths usually favours frontmarkers but the blustery wind cast some doubts. But true to tradition, frontmarker Jeanette Austin hit the lead with 100 metres to go and won by 10 metres from Jeff Walker with Demetrius Churkovich a similar distance behind in third. It was Austin’s sixth handicap win and her first for three years. Jaime Bell was narrowly the fastest female whilst Hamish Renkin was the fastest male by a huge margin. President Kevin McNulty paid a tribute to all the many former members who have passed away.

Point Lonsdale Health and Wellness 10 000 metre Handicap
A fresh northerly wind was evident as the smallish field of 47 lined up for the running of the Point Lonsdale Health and Wellness 10 km handicap at Point Lonsdale on Sunday. Low tree branches and tree roots were hazards to avoid through the sheltered dunes. Despite the tailwind along the beach being greatly appreciated, the course was expected to suit the backmarkers and so it proved. It was backmarker Michael Minney who scored his third open handicap victory by 100 metres from Daniel Wilson with Nick Masters third, 40 metres astern. Hamish Renkin was the fastest male by three minutes and Jaime Bell was narrowly the fastest female. Well done by the course directors for setting up the labour intensive course markings.
