Congratulations to all competitors in the Sri Chinmoy 10km, Marathon and Children's 2.5km Race on Sunday 28th March, 2010. Staged along a stunning 5km loop on the gently meandering Avon River, the course provided some memorable performances.

There were nineteen finishers in the marathon. Unique to this year's event was the international field, with competitors from Australia, Russia and Finland.

Thankfully the intimidating stormy weather forecast never manifested and the conditions remained near perfect for the marathon: cool with gentle sunshine throughout the journey. Lester Smith, from Adelaide, Australia took the lead from the outset and ran a strong and steady marathon with a winning time of 3:12:32. Although Lester is a veteran runner with well over 100 marathons under his belt this was his first victory, making the trip across the Tasman all the more fulfilling, no doubt! Mark Ingram, a local Cantabrian finished nine minutes later in second place with a very respectable 3:21:42.

First female across the line for the marathon was our Finnish visitor Ritva Vallivaara-Pasto. Ritva's winning time was 3:43:26. Ritva, who is more familiar with having to endure the sub minus ten degree climate of Finland, was very pleased with the gentler Christchurch conditions. Russia's Anastasia Shchepetkina, who smiled the entire race, was the second female finisher with a time of 4:27:46.

Special congratulations also to Richard Bartlett from Sydney whose sub five hour finishing time (4:26:39) ensured his entry to the 90km Comrades marathon in South Africa in May!

The 10km runners, starting one hour later, added great energy to the course. First across the line was Chris Kelly in a speedy time of 36:20. In second place for the men was Yannick Vialles with 39:15. First female was Karyn Carson with 44:36 and in second place was Tessa Holland with 47:06.

The Children's 2.5km Race had 29 starters who took off with impressive speed. George Addis was first amoung the boys with 10:39 followed by Riley English with 11:13. Tayla Clarke was the first girl with 10:59 and second was Jessica Brown with 12:21.
