Participants could choose from 3 distances: 4km, 11.5km, and a half marathon.

It was a beautiful day (especially compared to last year’s dismal weather) and, building on the success of previous events, almost 400 participants registered — it was the best-attended event yet!
Good to see people young and old and families getting amongst it; we look forward to next year’s event.
