Almost 800 runners and walkers took to the Cape on Sunday morning for the annual Byron Lighthouse Run.
First home for the men was Jackson Elliott in a time of 00:34:33. Jackson was also the first runner to make it to the lighthouse, ahead of a stream that would take about an hour to go through.
The first woman to the top, Tessa Brauer, finished in second place in the division behind Helen Motti who finished the course in 00:41:47 and 16th overall. Tessa came in at number 19 with a time of 00:42:34.
Second place for the men was Shane Ward, who came in almost two and a half minutes after the winner in a time of 00:37:08
Next year’s event has been scheduled for October 18. For more information visit the run’s website: www.byronrun.com.
