Hi All,
The Christmas Splash N Dash was a real buzz with plenty of Santa hats, reindeer ears and tinsel on display. We had some creative interpretations of the beach run, a few tight squeezes in the swim and a dog loose amongst the runners but it all combined to make for a fantastic evening of fun on the foreshore.
A huge thank you to Race Director Rob Weatherald who ensured things ran smoothly. Thanks also to Kylie who watched over the junior event. As predicted the traditional junior/senior relay was a blast and left the adults gasping for air. Those youngsters really give their all and inspired the adults to better things. A few of the parents were surprised by the run speed of the kids !
Thanks to all those who assisted to make our final event for 2009 such a success.
