Run 503

Today was our "Relief Run" to raise funds for the Red Cross for Bushfire Relief. It was great to see seven of our regular runners come along for this event and another seven people come to help us raise some money for the relief fund. Thanks very much to Diana, Robin, Olga, Karina, Sophie and Steve K, and a big welcome to Yunal who ran his first run with the group today and we hope to see him back running again in the future.

A big thank-you to Quinton's SUPA IGA for providing a large fruit basket for the runners to enjoy at the end of the run (as they do every week).

For the people who came along just for the Relief Run, Karina was the first over the line. Olga came in second just ahead of Robin and Diana. Sophie and Steve walked the 3 km distance today. For the regular runners in the group, Amelia was the only person to take on the 2 km distance. Monica was the first over the line after the 30 minute mark today with a PB time earning her the maximum points this week. Nada was in second place just ahead of Jozica and Yunal (who shared a finishing time) with Hayden in fifth place. James and Paul also shared the final finishing time.

Next week the run will be on Saturday 25 January at 7:00 am.

New runners and/or walkers are welcome at any time during the season.
