The new course was well-received and had the advantage of starting within the parade route with many spectators lining the highway for the start and first 100m. Weather was perfect and there were more kids than ever this year! Next year we'll definitely be splitting up the 9 and Under age group in to 6 and Under and 7-9. Our top 3 females were all in the 10-12 age group! Congrats to overall winner Jordan Wilson, running exactly the same time as last year's winner, 4:40; and to Bridget Graham, first female in 6:23. Full results and photos are here.
