1979 Sutherland to Surf

Posted: January 27, 2015 at 7:00 pm

In 1979 the race attracted one of the country’s great runners, the Cronulla-based Andrew Lloyd, who was to go on and win the memorable 5000m gold medal at the Auckland Commonwealth Games and become the Sutherland 2 Surf’s most prolific and successful runner by winning it eight times up to 1995.
