Sydney Marathon - September 16th 2002 A great turn out and some positive feedback resulted from the recent running of the Sydney Marathon.  A hard course, with a few painful hills towards the end made for a challenging marathon.  Top 3 Female and Male Results were: FEMALE                                    MALE 1st - Heather Thurland  2:51:06           1st - Stephen Bwire      2:17:30 2nd - Sarah Mycroft      2:55:59          2nd - Patrick Nyongelo   2:17:37 3rd - Natalie Karl          2:58:17           3rd - Marowa Dickson    2:19:58 Noosa Half Marathon It was an average sort of morning, with the wind picking up early and making the race a challenge for all competitors.  Controversy never seems to be far away with athletics and this race was no different.  Both the male and female Australian winners were disqualified from the Australian Championships which was associated with the event.
