We have come a long way since 7 February 2007 and have survived Bush Fires, Floods and Lockdowns. Tonight, marks the 739th run since the event began. David Connaughton started 27 February 2008 and he has participated in 573 of these events. However, tonight, he is laid low as a Covid close contact. Runners going past his place could see him gazing sorrowfully out the window.
There were 80 starters this evening and the quality was certainly on show with excellent times in all three events. In the 2 kilometres the top five were under 8 minutes and in the 3.5 kilometres Cameron Lunn, after a long absence, recorded his best time of 16.39. In the 5-kilometres the top five were under 20 minutes.
In the 2-kilometres PBs were recorded by Eddie Olah, William Smith, Karen Harding-Smith, Alby Clark, Eli and Scott Melgaard, and Lilly Cecere. In the 3.5-Kilometres besides Cameron Lunn another runner named Niamh Scahill recorded a PB. In the 5-kilometres Andrew Olah and Yvonne Carter recorded personal best times.
Because we could not have Dave we were lucky to have a good substitute with the new Mayor of the Eurobodalla shire, Matt Hatcher, turn up to record his 3rd run with the group.
