The ninety-three competitors in the Active Feet 10 km sealed handicap at Barwon Valley Park were treated to ideal conditions for the course which principally used the Troop Loop. The pace was hectic and race sponsor, Harry Cashin, won by 30 metres with Liam Drady able to hold off Luke Considine by 15 metres for second. Alana Plymin was the fastest of the females by over two minutes.
When handicappers Dan, Jo and Michael applied the hidden handicaps, Colleen Stephens, a veteran of 482 runs, was the winner of the Frontmarkers, her first win since 2014. Michael Minney on the recovery trail after injury took out the Backmarkers whilst Alan Jenkins snared his second win of the season in the Middemarkers. The New runners division was won by Meagan Farley in her seventh race. Alan Jenkins was congratulated on his 200 run milestone as was Kim Wright for her 100 runs.
