A field of 66 assembled for the Running Company 15 km sealed handicap at Belmont Park with a moderate south westerly keeping conditions pleasant for the club’s second longest run of the season. 2018 club champion, Grant Simpson, set a hot pace to win by 700 metres whilst Catherine Allison won the female section by a similar margin. When handicappers Dan and Andrew applied the hidden handicaps, Stephane VanderBruggen, who is heading overseas to tackle the triathlon circuit won the Backmarkers division. Recent winners, Joanna MacCarthy and Geoff Anset, continued their strong form by taking out the Frontmarkers and Middlemarkers sections respectively. In the New and Returning Runners division, first year runner Hilda McGrillen took her 2nd sealed series win.
