The 2009 Hughes Memorial 10km (5km this year) Handicap Road Race + associated races

On Saturday Leith members competed in the Hughes Memorial Handicap Road Races. The walkers enjoyed walks around the area.
Megan Balchin (19:30) off a handicap of 7 minutes won the main Hughes Memorial Handicap 5km Road Race held over a 2-lap out and back course (normally 10km) this year due to a Kiwi warship being in harbour and resulting in blockage of the route by the waterfront and also to allow runners competing in the National Road Champs the next Saturday to recover. Second off a handicap of 07:20 and just seven seconds adrift was the fast finishing Sue Cuthbert (19:17). Third off a handicap of 10:40 was Neale McLanachan (16:03 second fastest time). Ollie O'Sullivan (Hill City) finished with fastest time of 15:56.
In the Junior Boys and Girls Under 12 event there was some keen competition. Erin Knox off a handicap of 20 seconds won the combined boys and girls event. Second was Sam Cuthbert and third was Tim Horton who also finished with fastest time of 4:04.
