With a capacity field in both the FreshChoice Kepler Challenge (60km) and FreshChoice Luxmore Grunt (28km), competitors lined up for an early start to take on this iconic community race - the 30th anniversary event.

It was a 6am start for the 60km ultra runners making their pilgrimage around the Kepler Track.  A 7am starters gun followed for the “Grunt” runners.
