Most pleasing was the number of kids, with all local primary schools entering multiple teams. 

Newly announced Olympian, Scott Westcott - who organised the event - tested out the five kilometres course and finished in 15:10:50 - almost 10 minutes in front of the second placed male runner.

Australian triathlete, Jane Fardell also ran the course, pushing Scott much of the way before finishing in 18:32:88.

Steve Luscombe certainly did not need any extra exercise, but was a surprise participator.

With his dog Milo, Steve is walking to the Cape and across to the Kimberley for AMAZE which is a Victorian Charity supporting autism. 

Steve and Milo walked the 5km course with the Mayor Ken Keith (more details of Steve’s epic journey in Friday’s edition).
