The Ekidan Relays made a return and were held at the St Anne's Winery, Myrniong.  A change to the format had the teams running a circuit rather than the traditional point to point as we used to with the Harcourt to Bendigo course.  There were also varying legs for each of the divisions and age groups.  In what can be described as a real cross country course it was tough under foot with either uneven tufts of grass or gravel roads to contend with. Throw in some tough hills and it was never easy for anyone.

Our Under 14 men were led out by Tom Linnett who had the fastest time for that leg and we were in a tight race with the Ballarat Region team over the 14.4km total distance.  Charlie and Chloe kept up the fight over the next two legs and we came in second for a well deserved silver medal.

The U16 men came in third and were only 9 seconds away from second.  Very strong runs from Callum, Dash and Erin with us being in either 2nd or 3rd spot throughout the race.

The Div 6 team had a good day out with Ben stepping up to run two legs, starting out 1st and then filling in the 3rd leg.  Mitch gave us a solid run to hold us in 2nd place and Annerounded out the team and hold that second spot.
