We had four runners in today's Aurora handicap marathon. Conditions couldn't have been better, with sunny skies for most of the day, and a light breeze to keep temperatures at an ideal level. Congratulations to Steve Raymond, taking first place in the handicap race, finishing in a time of 4:03:59 - not far inside the hidden handicap margin of 13:28 faster than his estimated time. Fastest of our runners was Nigel Doyle, who at 4:03:33 was disqualified from the handicap race for being a massive 26:27 faster than his estimated time of 4:30!
