Kepler Challenge and Luxmore Grunt

With less than six weeks to go before the 23rd Kepler Challenge and Luxmore Grunt, there are lots of eager runners maintaining their training. The waitlist is long, but dropping steadily.

Martin Lukes, 3 time winner of the Kepler Challenge Men’s, wants to knock one more off before he turns 40.

2009 Women’s Champion, Vanessa Haverd, is low key about her chances this year. She is looking forward to a good holiday and finishing in one piece.

Luxmore Grunt’s Men’s winner last year, Matthew Broad from Winton, is back trying to make it ‘two in a row’. With none of the top three women’s Luxmore Grunt placegetters for 2009 returning, the field is wide open. Bridget Davies from Queenstown, is looking to take top honours with an estimated time under two hours.
