Coburg 24 Hour Carnival, VIC, 5-6 April 2014

Only small walk fields contested this year's Coburg 24 Hour Carnival but Australian Centurion Michelle Thompson (C58) provided one of the highlights of the meet with a record breaking walk of 190.984km. Overall, the meet produced some 32 new records, run and walk, Australian and Canadian, Open and Age. The race also set a new high for Australia. Of the 48 starters, 6 achieved distances greater than 230km, 15 were in excess of 200km and 27 were in excess of 100 miles. Such depth and quality have never been seen so abundantly before. All in all, a superb weekend for all present.
