This year added a unique element to the event as all runners got to make use of the roadway on the old Echuca-Moama bridge, with the road closed for the race.
The 21.1km and 10km events also started on the bridge itself.

Local Hayley Waterson was the fastest woman across the line, improving on her 1.26:40 win last year to post 1.22:17.
