Pat and Derek Turnbull hosted the Wyndham harriers club in 1988 in a serious of long distances over Forrest Hill in 1988.
In atrocious conditions the runners set off and it was not until they got into the bush line that they received any shelter from the heavy rain and winds.
The senior pack was headed by Murray Guise, Gavin Warburton, Derek Turnbull and Denis Warburton.  They ran for 18 miles over gruelling tracks and gravel roads.
The above runners put pressure on the rest of the field which saw the back runners off the pace.
Gavin Warburton lead the pack out and once they got to the bush line, it was here the wily veteran, Derek Turnbull took over and put a short gap between him and the rest of the pack.
His knowledge of the track and speed saw Turnbull lead his contenders on a merry chase.
It was not until the track began to rise steeply to the top, that Murray Guise and Denis Warburton, took their opportunity to leave Turnbull and the others behind.  On the way down, though the rest of the pack caught up and it was a sprint to the finish with Guise being the victor.
The junior race was won by B. McCan, after his rival, and favourite to win the race, W. Henstock took a wrong turn.  C. Hopkins and E. Cameron fought out the girl's race with the former winning.
Other runners were:  
Grant Johnstone, R. Todd, S. Parkes, G. Rogers, G. Morton, B. Hopkins, Zane Butson.  G. McKenzie, M. Pugh, A. Morton.
Women:  G. Warburton, E. Cameron, L. Dickey, C. Peterson,
