The 2009 Road Racing season kicked off with the

BLENHEIM TRUST 5K SERIES
presented by
HIGHLAND SPRING WATER
FLORIDA'S NATURAL JUICES

The race series concluded on 13 ahead of the June 20, Olympic Day Run.  

Back on the Mondo track to race the "City Circuit" 28 runners battled for a season PB
and finishers spot.   

Due to work commitments, and having secured the top spot after 4 races, the
absence of Steven Asson left the field open with Adrian Dale breaking the tape and
taking second overall.  Both Adrian and Paul Hubbard were pushed hard by a last
minute rush of new blood on the course setting a furious upfront pace, however with
3 races in the bag Paul was able to see them off for third place overall

Darwn Peters flew off the start line for a 2009 series PB and an incredible 5 out of 5
first place wins to annihilate the ladies field.  600m further back Kay Reddy and Sally
Blackmore slug it out step for step throughout the series with Kay pulling off a last
minute lead of 4 secs to take second overall with Sally third place.
