Mr Bown said many of the runners set personal bests on the fast, flat course which takes them around the lake, finishing at the ski dam.
McLennan took out the men's half marathon with a time of one hour and 22.43 seconds, while Torley was the first lady across the finish line with a time of one hour and 24.49 seconds.
Wes Gibson claimed men's line honours in the 10km event with a time of 36 minutes, 56 seconds, Kellie Gibson claimed the women's line honours with a time of 42 minutes, 39 seconds.
Gert Swanepoel was the first across the line in the 5km race with a time of 19 minutes and 5 seconds, and Tia Dunn was the first female across the line with a time of 22 minutes and 19 seconds.
Mr Bown said they would like to thank their many sponsors and community groups that helped them including Work Control, the Lions Club, Can Assist and Forbes Shire Council.
