VAR analysis has been completed and following close inspection of a few “slightly wide” changeovers I’ve pleased to say Sam MacNeil and Andrew Latham have been crowned this years Champions after chucking passing the virtual baton between themselves most efficiently to cover the distance in a very impressive 31:32 – joking aside well done on a great run guys and congratulations on taking home a very worthy win.

Close battle for second place, with a sensational last leg from Michael Fullerton seeing him and John James Hancock edge out Min Ke and Stuart Johnston for the silver medal by just 5 seconds.

Most importantly everything seems to run smoothly over 2 races, with almost 60 runners ticking off lap after lap with no issues.

Personal thanks from Me, Alex and Garry for everyone who helped make it a success – too many volunteers to name, but the fact there were dozens of you stood in the rain for 2 or 3 hours smiling for all that time speaks volumes.

Have a good Christmas everyone and fingers crossed we can look forward to some more actual racing next year.
