Winslow continues to connect with the communities within in which we work, whether it be through learning and employment opportunities, or supporting local sporting clubs and events.
Last Saturday, the 2023 Community Bank Beachside Gift was held at Mentone Oval in Melbourne’s Bayside area, with Winslow the major sponsor of the 70m Women’s Handicap race.
Our commitment to equality saw the inaugural race worth $3000 in prizemoney, making it the same as the 70m handicap for women at the Easter Stawell Gift.
There were more than 400 competitors and more than 2500 spectators trackside to cheer on the athletes.
The race was won by Melbourne beach sprinter Emily Carty ahead of Ruby Holten and Bella Pasquali, who is favourite to win this year’s Women’s 120m race at the Stawell Gift.
In fourth place was Kiara Reddingius, who was in the Australian Bobsled team at last year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Winslow Infrastructure Technical Manager Justin Cohen, a talented sprinter himself, was on hand to present the award to Emily.
