With a new start location, runners crossed the timing mats after each 2.5 kilometre lap and finished with up to 10 kilometres for the four laps.
The pace was on from the start although the warmer temperature made things a little bit more stifling and combined with a few pesky flies the entire course was slightly tougher than you might think.
Overall winner on the day was Alex McLean, who finished third female over the 5km journey to show the running talent isn’t restricted to the male side of the family.
The top three male and female finishes over each distance were:
FEMALE:
2.5KM: Amber Rich 10.49, Tanya Connolly 14.26, Lily Bangert 15.48.
5KM: Lily Craig and Caitlyn Broadfoot 27.01, Alex Mclean 29.12.
7.5KM: Leanne Corcoran 36.54, Karen Neal 36.56, Karyn Vardanega 43.27.
10KM: Ursula Wilson 46.38, Meg Reeves 54.02, Alicia Ross 54.21.
MALE:
2.5KM: Elliot Bangert 11.04, Lachlan Ross 11.15, Jackson Boucher 11.43.
5KM: Iain McLean 19.50, Rikky Bangert 21.33, Jack Daintith 22.45.
7.5KM: Joel Kitto 39.06, Richard Eggleston 48.15.
10KM: Daryl Roweth 45.49, Anthony Daintith 57.00, Ian Spurway 57.33.
On Wednesday night at Elephant Park 62 starters tackled the course led by the kids competing in the last Junior Spring Carnival for the year.
Depending on the age group, the runners completed one, two or three laps.
The place-getters in each category were:

4-6: Henry Reeves 8.22.

There were four ladies who managed to set some very quick personal best times during the Wednesday Elephant Park run, they included Belinda McCauley 10s, Emily Sammut 1m24s, Maddi Hook 37s and Clair Stutchbury 3s.
The overall winner was Kathy Penrose who completed the three laps in 22.36, doing a stellar job as usual.
