Cool conditions were a blessing for the starters however a tricky crosswind would mean tactics were to be at a premium.

The start of the main 10 kilometre event saw Michael Dymnicki closely followed by Chris Cummins lead the pack out of the campus.

It was a close tussle for the first five kilometres with Dymnicki only holding a 20 second lead at the half way mark over Cummins.

With the stiff breeze causing runners to tire quickly the second five kilometres proved to be a battle, but it was Dymnicki who prevailed in the end to win comfortably in a time of 33:13.

Chris Cummins ran in second in 35:12.

Terry Cummins continued his good form of recent weeks to take third place and break the 40 minute mark to record 39:38.

Mark Smith again ran well and was made to work to achieve his 500 kilometre milestone with the club.

He ran in with 49:02.

Nadine Negus dominated the five kilometre event and ran in with a time of 27:07.

In the shorter 2.5 kilometre the results were close with the girls taking all the podium places.

Renae Robertson led the field for a good win a time of 13:39.

Second and third place was a battle between Xuan Ngugen and Jodie Smith with Ngugen holding off Smith to claim second in 14:41.

Smith finished in 14:59.

The next running club event will be next year on February 9 next year with details to be released closer to the date.
