Results

Ruby Muir impressive over the 10k course (45.07). She would have nailed the championship title is she had lined up for the 5k event

Steeplechaser and mountain runner, Harry Burnard made short work of the opposition on the tough Vosseler course leading throughout to pick up the winners medal.  Rain during the week and especially on the morning of the race made underfoot conditions slippery and treacherous in parts. Harry was not immune and on lap two slid on his arse on the downhill section adjacent to the finish line.  Others had similar experiences.

And is Ruby Muir the new Melissa Moon?
