There were three different starting points for the events which unfortunately meant a late start of 25 minutes for some of the club’s 42.2km runners.

However, they gave chase, catch and passed fellow competitors and finished comfortably.

Michael Mzobe was the first club finisher in an excellent time of 2:57:33, despite the fact that he is one of those who started 25 minutes late.
