Well rounded club runner, Brett Gilligan has taken first place honours in this Sundays Bendigo Athletic Club 8km race out at Huntly.
Gilligan said an unsatisfactory race from a few weeks ago where he finished in 19th place has spurred the veteran runner to do better, with Gilligan achieving two 2nd’s and now a 1st since that day.
Gilligan defeated the field of 27 runners in a time of 32:11 to win the Purtill’s Nursery sponsored event.
Starting off on a handicap of 16:00, Gilligan set off with co-marker Luke Matthews to chase down the 21 runners ahead of him.
