Held on the St Kilda beachfront, runners were lashed with winds and the occasional shower, but the tough conditions didn't stop Fraser, who won the race in a time of 1:22:56.8hr.
Fraser finished more than five minutes clear of runner-up Kylie Sprague (1:28:18.2hr), with Belinda Slee third (1:28:46.6hr).
The Carman's Women's Fun Run supports the Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Last weekend’s success has continued a great run of form for the Ballarat athlete, who has now claimed 10 wins from her last 10 events.
In August, Fraser also set a new women’s 50km treadmill world record.
She completed the journey at the Ballarat Aquatic Centre in 3:45:30hr, which was nearly six minutes under the previous record.
Part of her motivation for attempting the run was to raise money for River’s Gift, a charity which funds research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
