Balclutha's cool temperature and fine drizzle yesterday
suited the 96 competitors in the inaugural bridge to beach
race.
Event organiser Lisa Lyall said she was pleased to have so
many entries and that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
The 21.5km run began at the Clutha Rugby Clubrooms, near the
Balclutha bridge, and finished at the Kaka Point surf life
saving club rooms, where competitors and spectators were
treated to a sausage sizzle and entertainment.
Stefan Fairweather, a second-year medical student from
Dunedin, said felt fine until he reached the 16km mark.
He finished second to fellow Dunedin resident Chris Tipper.
Mark Deacon won the bike race.
