Sri Chinmoy Iron Cove Race Report

20/05/2009 9:22:32 PM

A win for Matt Webster - With two large fields participating in Mother's Day races elsewhere in Sydney, the remaining 287 of Sydney's runners gathered at Leichhardt Park to enjoy one of the city's simplest, most sublime pleasures - a ritual otherwise known as The Bay Run.

 

 

Our own Matt Webster won the lastest Sri Chinmoy running race at Iron Cove. The events were 4km, 8km and 16km.

 

Matt Webster flew home in the men's 8 km field in record time – 27:31, almost a minute clear of his rivals.  Wayne Morgan claimed the main prize in the Men 50-59 with a snappy 35:28, while Englishman Rob Connolley continued his fine form in the Men 60-69 with another outstanding record-breaking run of 33:05.

Katie Kelly won the women's 8 km race by a long margin in 33:38, finishing just outside the top 10 men.  Jayne McManis took out the Women 50-59 in 41:26, with the evergreen Kerry Bray bringing home gold and another course record in the Women 60-69 with her 43:17.
