Following the re-introduction of our 6k “All-Comers” handicap last year we ran the event this year on 30th March, in very wintery conditions, on the same course along the Yarra River trail near the Eaglemont Tennis Courts.
The race is a good test for early season form. We had 12 competitors and times compared favourably with last year.
Once again, our official handicapper was Barry Greig who did a great job with the information available.

Unfortunately the weather was lousy so after the race we retired to Jeff & Joan's home to warm up and BBQ a feast of sausages. It was a good day despite the weather and good preparation for the coming cross country season.
