The 13th Casino Run was held at the rail trail for the first time.
It was also the first time a half marathon of 21km was held. First across the line was Peter King with a time of 1 hour 16 minutes.
First female across the line in the half marathon was Laura Donohue with a time of 1 hour 31 minutes.
The run event started an hour earlier than planned becuase of an expected hot day.

Duncan did the run last year and this year his time was 42 minutes and 55 seconds.
