Half on the Hill

It was a wonderful morning for the 2024 Yenda Prods Half on the Hill and judging by the smiles on so many faces, it appears everyone had the same feeling 🙂

Thank you to Johanna for taking these photos and for sharing them with us. Enjoy!

Results are now online for the 2024 Yenda Prods Half on the Hill. Head on over to https://griffithhalf.org.au/results for the full list.

Last night's rain resulted in a heavy track but that did not stop Aidan Fattore taking his 4th win a row in the male half marathon. Not to be outdone, Eliza Star has now made it 3 wins on the trot in the female event. Congratulations 🥳

In the junior 4km run, Callum Vecchio got his maiden win in the boys event, whilst Lylah Aitken won the girls title in a tight tussle.

A big thank you to our major sponsor Yenda Prods and to all our other valuable sponsors - we couldn't have hosted this event without your invaluable support.

Thanks to everyone who participated today and for those who volunteered their time to help out. It's people like you that make the Half on the Hill such a great run!
