The 21st Running of the Annual Clarrie Gibbons Run was held on Wednesday March 6. Conditions were ideal with a gentle southerly dying away and clear sunny sky above.
The field was somewhat depleted this year with a number of other activities being held on or around race day. Good luck to all those running in the Southern Crossing on Saturday.
The first two runners home were very close with the Thomas Connolley Beating Greg Thurlow by just 17 seconds in a time of 1:37:20. Not a bad result as Thomas backtracked for 30m near the end to check his directions with Greg.
All runners in commented on the good conditions and most were very happy with their times, many claiming personal bests for the event.
Many thanks to all participants, members of the Hutt Valley Marathon Clinic, the Wellington Police, Eastbourne Rugby Club and Murray Gibbons for all your efforts and support. We hope to see everyone back next year for a bigger and better event.
