The men\u2019s podium was completed by Jack Moody in 2h 20m 02s \u2013 finishing just 10 seconds behind Voss \u2013 and Eric Speakman in 2h 28m 07s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling a lot better now, I was a bit nervous coming down the finish chute,\u201d Voss said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew Jack was hot on my heels, so I just kept my head down to the line and managed to hold on.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack and I split away from the group pretty early on and he just held a pretty consistent pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of sat on his shoulder for most of the way, tried to do some of the work, but he was just consistent.<\/p>\n

Voss said he found a little gap with about 10km to go \u201cand tried to make my move then\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mason said she \u201cdidn\u2019t love the headwind along the waterfront\u201d but other than that it was pretty nice morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast time I came here, I got passed in the last three kilometres, so this is redemption a couple of years later.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long two years, I\u2019ve had a kid since then, so it\u2019s been a long time to come back here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the half marathon it was Laura Nagel who took out the women\u2019s title in 1h 15m 50s, over six minutes clear of Heather Neill in second.<\/p>\n

Jasmine Finney rounded out the podium in 1h 22m 55s.<\/p>\n

The men\u2019s half marathon was won by Liam Chesney in 1h 08m 04s with a minute to spare from Luke Scott in second, with Mike Robinson in third in 1h 09m 44s.<\/p>\n
