Geelong Cross Country Club Corrective Chiropractic Bellarine
Corrective Chiropractic Bellarine 7 000 metre Handicap
It was a pleasant morning for running as the field of 55 lined up for the Corrective Chiropractic Bellarine 7 km handicap at Drysdale on Sunday. The three lap course around the Recreation Reserve has two testing hills per lap to negotiate as well as the grassy surface. It was Luke Haines who scored from Andrew Thompson by 55 metres with Sean Charleson 100 metres behind in third place. Having won the same event last season, Haines took his club handicap win tally to three. He attributed his recovery from injury to the day’s race sponsor’s treatment of a foot ailment. In the battle for fastest time honours, Jaime Bell and Angus Wood were the fastest of their gender.
