Venues The venue for the first men’s race was the Kensington Racecourse. The race was over 10 miles and much of the race was held on the road. It was an out and back course to the La Perouse Cemetery.

East Sydney won the team’s event, each team comprising six runners, with 70 points, ahead of Marrickville Harriers (75 points) and Sydney Harriers. Other clubs competing were: Birchgrove Harriers, South Sydney, St George and Western Suburbs. The first women’s race was held in July 1979, when Sue Muir (Sutherland) ran 37:01 to win the race over 10km at Auburn. Many of the greats of NSW distance running have claimed titles, including: Andrew Wood, Alleyn Gainsford, Jack Sheaves, Donald and George Campbell, John Plummer, Dave Power, Alan Lawrence, Bob Vagg, Tony Manning, John Farrington, Rob McDonald, Lawrie Whitty, Andrew Lloyd and Jamie Harrison.
