The fastest runners over the various distances were:

Handicap winner was Olivia Martin who completed the 3km distance in a time of 22:55.

On Wednesday at Elephant Park 79 starters were out to push the pace in search of setting a personal best time with only two relatively new members able to post a PB on the day. Madeline Hill 3m 20s and Yonneka Hill 8m 2s impressed with these significant improvements.

Leanne Corcoran in 12:17 continues to put out fast times while there was not much between Jessie Dean 12:38 and Milla Jurd 12:43.

Sam Harma was the overall handicap winner.

This Sunday the club run will be held at Spring Creek Dam starting at 9am with distances of 2.4km, 4.8km, 7.2km and 9.6km.

With the current weather conditions currently being experienced, both temperature and air quality, runners are reminded to run / walk or don't run, to the conditions and to keep hydrated.

A reminder to think about entering the Orange Running Festival in 2020 on March 7 and 8 at Gosling Creek.

There is an event for everyone, from the kids 2km on the Saturday afternoon to the 5km, 10km, Half Marathon and Marathon on the Sunday morning.

Also the committee will be looking for volunteer helpers prior to and during the event, so please put your hand up to help, or contact Mike O'Mara for more information.
