mottram clip Australia’s Craig Mottram passed 47 people to win a handicapped mile in Devenport, Tasmania, on Saturday night, according to his coach and manager, Nic Bideau.

Running on grass, only Mottram and Australia’s two-time 1500m champion Lachlan Chisholm did not receive a headstart. Mottram clocked 3:59.1 in his first race since resuming his training in November. Chisholm finished second, ten seconds back.

“I love coming to run here because the people always get behind me,” Mottram told Australis’s ABC News. “It’s taken a few years of me coming down here and performing well to get the interest and the support, so I look forward to keep coming back in the future.”
