Race Director's Report
It was a great event with a bit of rain at the start - however the weather came good, and the event was held in perfect conditions. This event consisted of one of the largest fields of runners and walkers ever seen for the 24 hour, it was also the first time the Coburg 24 hours run and Centurions walk events were combined - it was a win, win situation for both events.
Extraordinary efforts by all involved including the 4 (walkers) participants who achieved the 24 HOUR WALK – CENTURION status 100 MILES (160 KLM) IN 24 HOURS.
In the 24 hour run Mick Francis led early and maintained a rapid pace, Jerry Zukowski pursued him relentlessly, followed by Rainer Neumann who finished in third place. Mick Francis was the overall winner with 216 kilometers and 298 metres. Mikela Ward came first in the women's category with 104.54 kilometres - her singing throughout the race got her home! Local Northcote boy Isak Ketsakidis retired after 12 hours with 90.40 kilometres, he is determined to train harder for next year's event! Peter Gray who has completed over 150 ultra marathons came in fifth with a gutsy effort.
Jeff Smith won the 12 hour run category with Phil Kenington finishing second and Warren Holst finishing third.
Trevor Marsh won the 6 hour run, with Anthony Cosoleto and Shirley Young finishing second, and third, Shirley broke her own personal records, she is pure business out there on the track.
In the 24 hour Centurion walk, Carol Baird, Lyn Lewis, John Harris and Karen Bollen finished 1,2, 3 and fourth respectively. All achieved Centurion Status having walked 160 kilometres in 24 hours.
Congratulations to all involved, especially to the volunteers and participants, the spirit of 24 hour running and walking lives on until next year's event.
