EUROA Fire Brigade senior running team travelled to Bendigo to compete in the Greater Midlands Fire Brigade Championships against 14 other teams.

On Sunday, 16 February the team, represented by Brodie Asquith, Jayden Booth, Max Furlanetto, Tyson Thompson, Gerard Williams, and coach Billy Williams, competed in B section.

The team performed strongly with placings in four events while recording highly competitive times against A section sides in open events.
