Canberra Half Marathon Weekend Events
13th to 14th May 2006.
What a great turnout, and a great Weatherwise weekend.
464 in the Half Marathon and numerous relay teams ( an innovation this year), 169 in the 5km event and 30 in the 1km event.
Some huge highs from the many PB's and a couple of lows from a clash with a Bike, and health problems, and not running to expectations.
The organisation was superb, and the events were conducted without any great hassles.
Ken Eynon, as the organiser, put in many hours in preparation for the events, many helpers assisted with some of the many tasks, and some even managed to run in one or the other of the events.
Coverage was obtained in the media, and sponsorships from many businesses all contributed to the atmosphere of the event, I'm sure the runners on finishing who received a bag of goodies and drinks, appreciated the support provided.
Until Next Time.

Nice write up of the Canberra half. It really was a great day. We are just so lucky to have running conditions like this in Canberra.
It was a perfect day Doug. Bit of a shame I wasn't running.
Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.
