Big Foot junior Ewan Shingler has upstaged 10-time winner Glenn Horrocks of Garingal to take out WHO's annual Turkey Trot multi-map long distance race at Stanhope Gardens on Sunday.

Ewan found some extra gas on the last few legs to triumph by just over a minute over the 18km, with daylight back to third-placed Ross Morrison (GO).

In the women's long course, Toni Bachvarova (GO) edged out Zoe Melling (Uringa) and Belinda Kinneally (WHO).

Big Foot made it a double in the Medium course via Ewan's mum Paula and Fergus Mackie, while in the Short course WHO junior Niamh Cassar came out ahead along with Bennelong's Joel Putnam.

The fire trails, tracks, bush and contours of last year's run were replaced by a predominantly flat area with numerous parks, cycle paths, creeks and a couple of the new NW Metro stations.
