The George Nelson Shepparton Gift is one of the stops along the way to the Stawell Gift, was held on Saturday, February 28, at the Shepparton Showgrounds. The event, which ran from 2pm to twilight in warm, humid conditions, gave the people of Greater Shepparton free entry to see both elite runners, and also opened the floor to the young athletes of Shepparton in the Little Athletics community events. Just over 1,000 people turned out for this year’s event which was hailed as another great success.
