Launch

Last year this race had a record number of entries. This year over 220 runners took part in the main race, even more than last year! Thanks to everyone who took part and to the many stewards, race officials and helpers in this highly successful event. All proceeds to assist cancer sufferers and their families.

The main camera and backup both failed so unfortunately we don't have many pictures. All pictures except the 3rd and 4th were kindly donated by Tanya Clancy. If you have any please e-mail them to me.
