Ben Barr from Nunawading in Victoria took out today’s inaugural Tour de Ridge half marathon in cool, cloudy conditions in 1.32.34. The course included steep climbs up Farrer hill, Mt Wanniassa, Wanniassa ridge, and Isaacs ridge (twice) before traversing Farrer ridge to finish. ACT runners Tom Brazier and John Fleming were the place getters in 1.33.44 and 1.35.17.

ACT representative distance runner Andrea Ilakovac  was in dynamic form as she finished 7th outright in 1.42.26, with another ACT representative Hannah Flannery next female in 1.45.51. Dominique Ferguson was 3rd in 1.52.49.

George Pagotelis won the 15 km in 1.12.56 from outstanding veterans Peter Clarke in 1.14.00 and Wayne Pethybridge in 1.16.36. A brilliant performance by Melissa Clarke saw her finish 4th outright in 1.16.58. Samantha Bradley was 2nd fastest female in 1.29.10, just ahead of Catherine Hanley in 1.29.36. In the 15 km race walk, Monika Short was fastest in 1.59.17after out-kicking Geoff Barker to the finish. Barker walked 1.59.49. Michael Burt walked 2.06.44 then Adrienne Moseley and Cameron Mitchell were next in 2.43.29, followed by Bernie Rogers in 2.44.26.

Former world veteran mountain running champion Trevor Jacobs led the 10.5 km field off but ended up finishing 3rd in 47.42 after fast second half runs by Andrew Day, clocking 46.26, and Duncan McGill, with 46.55. Jessica Robson used her fitness from last month’s World Adventure Racing Championship to achieve a strong win in the women’s race in 50.51, from Kate Vandenberg in 53.05 and Heather Tolley in 53.49.
