Garingal gun Glenn Horrocks has taken out his 10th Turkey Trot, narrowly winning the annual 20km event at Cherrybrook and Westleigh.

The Turkey Trot is a mass start event with multiple map changes and three course lengths: 20km, 12km and 8km.

Glenn's time of 1:58:32 was 45 seconds than Big Foot's Bart Vonhoff, with GO junior Keelan Birch a further four seconds behind. Glenn has won eight times outright and had two dead-heats.

Newcastle's Clare Williams won the women's Long race and was fifth overall in 2:16:40, edging out Aniko Fozo-Kertesz (GO) by two minutes.

In the Middle (12km), it was a Big Foot trifecta among the women with Jo Parr beating her daughter Rebecca George and Nicole Mealing. in the men's section, Garingal junior Duncan Currie streeted the field by 21 minutes, leaving Tim Giles and Ruairidh MacDonald (BF) to battle for the minor placings.

There were clar ten-minute victories in the Short (8km), with ONSW director Michael Ridley-Smith and GO clubmate and visiting Finnish teenager Iida Lehtonen (pictured) winning easily.

Including the Enter on Day people doing shorter courses, we had a record 104 participants for the Turkey Trot.

Thanks to WHO for another iconic event. All the results and maps will be on the TT web page soon.

Meanwhile, on Saturday we had around 60 people attend another free taster event at Berowra. Thanks to our helper team of Louise, Dave, Keelan and Ross. The next free taster is at Hornsby Heights Scout Hall on Saturday July 14, with starts from 1-3pm.
