More than 80 people took part in the second-ever run, turning their tenacity to the elements when the average wind speed tipped 39kmh. Event organiser Hayden Daw- son said entrants in the first run, last year, had to contend with heavy rain. This year, entries may have been affected by more than the elements alone. ‘‘Obviously, we’re battling the rugby and the wind,’’ he said, noting the All Blacks played France as the runners made their way through the course. The runners and walkers, and a couple of pooches, gathered in the carpark at the end of Ellis Rd to compete in either the 1.5km or 5km course along Jacks Point Walkway. The shorter race went from the Top, Jane Murphy gets grubby in the carpark to the Lighthouse and Dressed as Santa is 8-year-old Jack Parry, who took part in the fun run along Jacks Point Walkway.
