The
25th annual HMAS Penguin Gate-to-Gate Fun Run and Power Walk was
held on Wednesday, November 26.
A great turnout saw 158 competitors take the challenge of the
5km course, which incorporated panoramic views and an undulating
route around Penguin and the Middle Head area.
The race was won by SPR Mathew Jeffery who completed the course
in a fast time of 17mins 46secs, followed closely by LS Wayne
Hale and CPL Wayne Heath.
SGT Rob Combe proved to the younger guys that age was no limitation,
coming in a very respectable fourth place.
Ms Tracy Spindler of the NSWFB won the women’s race in a
time of 20:01 not far behind the first male competitors. FLGOFF
Cherie-Ann Bourghouts and MIDN Danielle Hale followed her.
The event trialed a new system of electronic registration which
made the collation of the event’s data more efficient and
proved very successful.
The event was well supported by all three services and congratulations
to all those personnel who competed on the day making the race
a successful event.
