Keilor Gift - U12 Handicap race, Saturday 15th Feb - Winners announced!

Updated 15 February 2020 - Winners announced!

Congratulations to our 2020 Keilor Gift U12 winners Roman Muse and Charli Mangan. As always it was a tight race, but Roman and Charli pulled that little extra out to cross the line first in their races.


Many people would have heard of the Stawell Gift, a famous handicap running race held in Stawell every Easter. In fact, this is one of a series of such races, including the Keilor Gift, which will be held next Saturday at the Keilor Football Club.

As part of this, the Keilor Gift holds an U12 handicap event for both girls and boys, and our club invites our U12 (and U11) athletes to participate.

The list below shows the Keilor athletes who will be participating, and the distances that they will start of - we thank all athletes and their families for representing Keilor.

To read the table, if we take the Boys race for example, Noah and Antoinee will start at 0 Metres (run the full race), while Connon Prendergast will start 15m in front of him. The aim of the handicapper is that all of the athletes finish at the same time - last year it was a very close and exciting finish, so hopefully we get the same this year.

In both the boys and girls races, the last listed athlete (in italics) is the emergency, in case one of the top 8 cannot compete.

We wish all athletes the best of luck on the day! - anyone can win this race…….
