The run of pleasant mornings for running continued with another cool morning with a light breeze that saw a field of 65 line up for the running of the Pro Feet Podiatry 10 km handicap at Balyang Sanctuary on Sunday.
It was Wayne Hunt who scored his first club win since 2005 by overtaking Michele Henshaw close to the finish to win by 10 metres with Michael Morton 200 metres back in third. Encouraged by a placing the previous Sunday, Hunt opted for a rare midweek training run and it paid dividends with him snaring his third club handicap victory.
Rachael Thompson and Liam Drady were again fastest, validating them as 2023 club champions.
