Glass and a Half

Yes. the 25th Anniversary of the Cadbury Marathon was held on 6th January 2008.

Several intrepid souls travelled from Canberra, to achieve Marathon and Half Marathon finishes, to receive a chocolate prize as a finishing gift, and to enjoy Tasmania.

Geoff Barker - Marathon 4:18:24, Robin Whyte - Marathon 4:53:48, Alice Scott - Marathon 5:57:36, Val Chesterton - Marathon 5:58:24, Mario Larocca - Half Marathon 2:23:53.

They are members of the ACT Veterans Athletic Club and ACT Race and Fitness Walking Club.

We await their return to hear all the stories about their trip, and races.
