Cadwallen was a standout performer in the 50 kilometre race as she crossed the line in 6:11:42 to finish in 14th position for her age division.
Other Lithgow runners included Hilton Brown who finished in a time of 6:41:26, Greg Bright in 6:50:54 and Madhu Tamilarasan in 9:07:52.
Lesley Collier, Julie Livingston and Kerrie Smith ran in the 22 kilometre race which was held on the Friday in cold and wet conditions.
Heavy rain before the 50 and 100 kilometre races forced organisers to change the course of the endurance run.
This was a big blow in particular to the 50km course contenders who had just a small stretch of their original trail left on the new track.
