Yet another clear crisp Autumn morning greeted our happy runners & we were lucky enough to have the boys from the Mt Eliza u/17 footy team join us.
With Ben manning the camera, it's always going to be a fun day & the jump shot of the week was so hotly contested we had to hand it over to the people to decide......
