Runners were greeted by a beautiful Autumn evening when they arrived at the Don Cricket Ground on Friday for race two of the season – the Cradle Coast Sports and Events 7km handicap.
The event was held Friday at 6pm to avoid a clash with Run Devonport on the following Sunday and was very well attended.
The course utilised the tracks beside the Don River and in the Don Reserve which made for some very enjoyable running.
Devonport runner, Cameron Bissett in his second season with the Club, broke through for his first victory.
Bissett has improved his times greatly from last year, training strongly over the summer, having been bitten by the running bug. He has been running consistently with PCCCT legend, Greg Smith, who no doubt has passed on many tips to aid Bissett’s improvement
He had to dig deep to hold off two strong backmarkers in Ben Young and Andrew Winkel with Anthony McCullagh a very good fourth just in front of Steven Tammens and race favourite Jason Scott.
Winkel recorded the fastest time for the men of (25:42) while Lyn Saint-John was fastest woman (29:14).
Other good performances were recorded by Tony Abel and David Murton while Ben Brockman and Josh Febey look like coming winners.
The nominated time winners were Florence Dutton, Malcolm Nutting and Lachie Riley.
