Out the front of the St Kevin’s boatsheds, where those brave few who had elected to run the 16km race gathered, Alan Lodge spoke of his brother’s own affinity to the APSOC community. Keith Lodge was an man whose dedication to building and strengthening the communities he cared for was an inspiration to all who knew him. The 55th running of the Lodge Handicaps illustrated the strength of Keith Lodge’s legacy and how appreciative we, the St Kevin’s Amateur Athletics Club, are of his contribution to the club throughout his life.
Xavier Chapman had an outstanding race, winning the 16km on both time and line honours averaging a pace of 3 minutes 19 seconds per kilometre. Further victories came in the 8km race with Chloe Cornwell taking out the handicap victory with Stuart Pettigrew coming in second. Both recorded excellent times in doing so.
The SKAAC committee would like to pass on special thanks to the Down family for the food they brought and the help in the kitchen, the Cornwells for their help in clean up and Nick O’Neill for his marshal help, MC work and clean up work.
