Good, who was second in the New Zealand<\/a> marathon championship the previous week, led out from the start but once on the uphill Jackson was in a class of his own and took control of the race.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a healthy lead after the first uphill, but then I was a bit worried about the fast descenders and scared they may catch me. But I held the lead and increased it on each of the next uphill runs,\u201d said Jackson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like the downhill, so it was a survival of the legs and relying on my strength on the uphill.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was one of the toughest courses I\u2019ve done, but perfect conditions and the views from the top were cool,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Jackson, who won the mountain title in 2014 on Mt Campbell Motueka and the national cross country<\/a> title in 2016 on the Auckland Domain, will now recover from pretty sore quadriceps before tackling the cross country season.<\/p>\n

National women\u2019s trail running champion Nancy Jiang added the mountain title, winning the senior women\u2019s gold medal over the same distance in 1:28:13. Susannah Lynch was second in 1:31:56 and three times champion and defending title holder Sabrina Grogan was third in 1:32:04.<\/p>\n
