The annual Rivoli Bay beach run went ahead on Saturday morning although the Beachport street market and duck race were cancelled due to COVID factors.
The Millicent Runners again put out an open invitation to members of the public to join them at their yearly Jetty to Jetty event and 20 accepted.
Participants appreciated the tail wind and unseasonal cool conditions.
As with the previous three years, it was a run or walk, starting at the Southend Jetty and following the beach around Rivoli Bay to the Beachport Jetty.
It is regarded as a low key, social run where there is no entry fee, no prizes, minimal support and no course markings.
Based on GPS readings, the route comes in at 18km.
Beachport traditionally holds a Market Day on Railway Terrace and an annual Duck Race Fundraiser at the Pool of Siloam on the second Saturday of January but they could not be held in 2022.
The Millicent Runners are now looking forward to the annual Sandy Crack run from Beachport to Robe on the mid-week Australia Day public holiday on Wednesday January 26.
