Sri Chinmoy 10km/4km Fun-Runs 2022

Sri Chinmoy Labour Day 10km & 4km Fun-Runs, Canberra, Monday 3 October, 2022

Perfect weather greeted us at Lake Ginninderra this morning. Blue skies reflected in flat glassy waters, without a breath of wind about. The chilly 2 degrees soon warmed to an agreeable 10-ish degrees, making for excellent running weather. Sure, the grass was a little long at the Bimbi Beach starting line, but that didn't matter once the athletes hit the bitumen path.

The outright winner of the 4km race was the young Alex Fillingham, a feat that was mirrored when his father Kane won the 10km event (36.14).

Laura Ramboer was first woman in the 4km in 17.47, and Georgina Pembroke was first in the 10km in 40.32.

A large contingent of Achilles runners and guides turned out today to support both events.

Congratulations to all competitors at Lake Ginninderra today.

The Sri Chinmoy 10km & 4km Fun-Runs returned to their “home away from home” alongside Lake Ginninderra’s Bimbi Beach for a rejuvenating morning’s outing.

Liam O’Rorke (34:50) had to contend with a strong challenge from James Mason (34:56) to hold onto the main prize in the men’s blue ribbon 10km event, with Andrew Proctor (35:45) coming in 3rd ahead of a fast-finishing Sarankhuu Jargal (35:57), and Kodi Clarkson (36:09) – just 3 days after his 14th birthday. Matt Rizzuto took out the M50-59 with a fine new course record of 36:38; Kim Houghton returned to the winner’s podium in the M60-69 with 47:21; while Greig McEwan led home the M70 and Over in 59:20.
