This evening we celebrated 13 years continuous holding this event.  It has become part of the fabric of life around the district and thanks to the support of volunteers and the community we have been able to hold 639 events during this time.  The real pleasure is to see the little children carried by their parents and then run the last few metres to the cheers of the surrounding participants.  Some of these same children have grown and now compete over the longer distance.  An example is Bonnie Lloyd-Jones carried by her mother Lisa in 2013 did the 2 kilometres in 25.09 and now as and 7-year-old Bonnie has done 68 runs and finished the 3.5 kilometres in 20.55, Lisa’s best is 19.19

Others have gone on to run half marathons, marathons and ultra-marathons.  But most of all it is about the individual competing against themselves and enjoying the community spirit.

We welcomed Buster Ware and Lachlan Bain to their first run with the group.  In the 2 kilometres Lucy Bain, Alexis Carver and Jordan Carter did personal best times.
