A field of 69 lined up in the Lara Natural Therapies 10 km handicap at the Geelong Grammar School on Sunday. The stiff breeze on the outward leg tested the runners. It was frontmarkers, John Caulfied and Joanna MacCarthy, who joined forces with 3 km to go and settled down to fight out the finish. Caulfield opened up a break only to be rejoined by MacCarthy. But the wily veteran drew away in the run to the finish to beat the first year runner MacCarthy by 20 metres. In the battle for fastest, invitation runner Craig Scott beat fellow invitee Cameron Simon whilst Natalie Mensch was fastest female from Shari Livingston.
