The race is a fund raiser for the St.John Ambulance Brigade. The Brigade have always assisted the running community by providing first aid services and this race is an opportunity to give something back to the Brigade, race director Steve Conway said.

The race starts -- and finishes -- at Victoria Park in Hamilton.

The first 125 runners across the line will receive a race T-shirt and there will be a grand draw prize of a colour TV. Other prizes will be drawn.

Entry fee is $10 for Athletic Club and Mid Ocean Athletic Club members, $12 for all other adults and $5 for juniors. Entry forms are available at The Athletic Club, Sportseller, and the Pro Shop. Deadline is 5 p.m Friday; deadline for late entries is 8:45 a.m. on race day -- at an increased fee.

Saltus' Kieran Bradshaw, T.J. Clark and Francesca Bortoli soared to a 12-point victory in Division A over Saltus Shell (James Stout, Simon Haworth and Jordan Monkman).

Four new teams from Saltus Cavendish took part in Division D. Andrew Hook, James Adams and Bradley Mitchell emerged as group winners, beating Michael Jones, James Fletcher and Nicholas Jones in the final.
