Superb weather, a course extension and a record 499 entries made for a memorable Great NOSH Footrace on Sunday.
This was the 45th running of the famous 16km trail run from Lindfield Oval to Seaforth Oval through stunning Middle Harbour scenery - and a 6km extension to allow an additional 22km course drew in some serious competition.
The forecast rain was nowhere to be seen, and temps nudging 20C made for thirsty work as the runners finished under blue skies.
Rhys Howard and Lindsay Norton were the inaugural 22km winners, while WHO's Tasmanian recruit Karl Bicevskis took out the 16km race along with Jo Nevin.
In the walking category, Big Foot's Andrew Wisniewski and Joyce Subloo were first across the line.
All up, nine orienteers recorded top-3 placings. Results can be found here.
A big thank you to Bennelong Northside Orienteers and Bold Horizons for organising the event, Seaforth Football Club for use of their grounds, National Parks for course permission, and all the helpers who made the day such a success.
