Notes: 1969 was the inaugural year. The men's race distances have varied around 7 km, some years probably as short as 6.5 km and other year's, as long as 7.35 km. The men's race distance for 1969 was reported as 7 km but was probably close to 5 km. The women's race distance have varied between 4 km and 4.2 km for the period 1981-1991, and between 5.0 and 5.35 km for 1992-date. Distances should be considered as estimates.
