Reid finished Sunday's run in fourth place overall in a time of 26 minutes and 16 seconds to comfortably see off rising junior Stephanie Torley (28:06) in the battle for the top women's prize.

As James Nipperess and Aaron Spiessberger-Parker raced away at the head of the jog, Reid led the chasing pack for the majority of the race.

It was only over the final kilometre where Orange's Jack Bilton chased Reid down to deny her the overall podium.

However, the talented runner from the Northern Beaches, who has excelled at the national level over 800m right through to half marathons, was happy with her run for fourth overall.

"I was in a fairly comfortable place for most of the run," she said.

"I've got my nine-month-old here with me and she didn't sleep last night so I'm a little bit frayed around the edges but I'm still really happy with that effort."

Reid's track background means hills are still not her forte but she didn't show any signs of sluggishness in a strong run home.

Reid hadn't made a previous attempt at the jog and her initial summary of the course was short and sweet.

"It's bloody hilly," she said.

"It's tough but it's the right amount of tough. I'm not very strong on the hills but I managed to get through it.

"I was a little lonely out there but that's alright. [Bilton] ran great and he smoked me at the end there."

Torley is a former women's winner of the Bathurst 10 Kilometre and it was little surprise to see the runner from Dalton winning her age group by a considerable margin.

Her time was strong enough for ninth place overall and she was more than 12 minutes clear of the next best runner in the 13-14 years girls division.

Asha Martin rounded out the women's podium with her time of 30:35.

Theere was a strong Bathurst showing among the front runners with Peta Cutler (30:57) and Renelle Donges (32:14) completing the women's top five.
