After taking out the 2009 race last year, Lisa Corrigan is looking forward to defending her title at the Asics 5km Bolt as part of the Noosa Multi-Sport Festival.
Corrigan has returned to training after some time out with injury but is looking forward to facing a competitive field.
“There’s a fair few girls running in it that will make it quite hard,” she said. “Lara Tamsett is one of them. It’ll be quite close, I think. Anyone could win it.
“I haven’t raced anything recently. I had a bit of a break from injury so I’ve just been getting back to it.
“I’m feeling pretty good, but it’ll be interesting. I’m starting to enjoy the training in warmer weather and looking forward to the athletics season.
“Noosa is a good hit-out over five K before the season starts.”
