The 43rd annual Great NOSH Footrace was conducted in beautiful, crisp, sunny conditions on Sunday.

Twelve months on from the massive storm that forced the postponement of the 2016 race, the contrast could not have been starker: finishers remarking on how hot they felt as they emerged from the Bantry Bay bushland onto a dry Seaforth Oval after 16.5km of trail running and some serious climbs.

Richard Mountstephens, from our Big Foot club, was first across the line in 75 minutes and 4 seconds. Danielle Donahue (left, with Richard) was the first female in 86:38, taking 22nd place overall.

Alastair George, another Big Foot member, took out fastest junior in 81:59 (13th overall), with Olivia Piazza (99m33s) the quickest female junior.

There were 304 entries, including 26 in the walking category. Spealing of which, Alex Green scooted around in 104m34s - a phemonenal result for walking.

Results are here, and Tony Hill has compiled an album from all the volunteer photographers here.

A big thank you to Bennelong Northside, Bold Horizons, Online Timing, Seaforth Soccer Club, Northern Beaches Council, National Parks, and all the volunteer helpers from orienteering clubs.
