In Lithgow, Tommy Cox recorded a personal best of 52:37 to finish in 348th place and was delighted with his run.

Across the border, the 26.2 miles of The Keilder Trail Marathon provided a tough test for the competitors, with a course nowhere near as flat as they might have expected, with several steep climbs and twists along its route.
