Canada Day Fun Runs 2009
Runners get their just desserts at finish line

For Canadian high commission intern Kalinda Cripwell, gobbling a taste of home was the perfect antidote to the inclement conditions. Numbers for the 20th annual Canada Fun Run were down on last year but an estimated 1400 people still donned their running shoes and broke the record for the amount collected. ''Today went really well. Everyone that was there was very happy,'' Ms Cripwell said . ''And we raised $41,000 for the Cancer Council ACT, which is the most we've ever raised.'' Individuals donated steadily while long-time supporter Can-Weld donated a large sum. Runners were rewarded with a breakfast of pancakes served with fresh fruit and maple syrup. The Belconnen Lions Club was first on the scene yesterday morning, working flat-out to produce thousands of pancakes. Each year 60 litres of pure maple syrup is imported from Canada specifically for the run. Reports indicate all 60 litres were consumed. Participants ran either a 5km or 10km course, starting and finishing at the Canadian high commission. The certified tracks worked their way along the lake and through Weston Park.Source:- The Canberra Times Monday 22 June 2009.

Canada Day Fun Runs – Sunday 21st June 2009 – Reports
Over 1200 runners, joggers and walkers came out to celebrate some good winter rain, participate in the 20th Canada Day 10k and 5k Fun Run/Walk and raise money for the Cancer Society ACT.
This year the events raised over $40,000 for the Cancer Society ACT and brought the total raised over the 20-year period to in excess of $400,000.
The fun runs, which start and finish at the rear of the Canadian High Commission, proceed along Coronation Drive and then Alexandrina Drive to Yarralumla Bay for 5k and onto Weston Park for those running10k.
First male in the 10k was Rohan Walker 30 minutes 50 seconds followed by Michael Rieger 31 minutes.50 seconds and Brad White third in 31 minutes 57 seconds. Queanbeyan’s Andrea Ilakovac continued her recent great form in winning her third major event in this area in coming first in 37 minutes 20 seconds followed by Sally Parker 38 minutes 05 seconds second and Jennifer Dixon 38 minutes 14 seconds third.
The 5k event was a clean sweep for Orienteering with Australian Representatives Julian Dent and Shannon Jones first male and female respectively. Julian Dent was first male in 15 minutes 35 seconds followed by Michael Chapman 16 minutes 07 seconds and Declan Wilson 16 minutes 37 seconds third. First female was Shannon Jones 18 minutes 02 seconds, followed by the very young Naomi Stewart 18 minutes 56 seconds and in third place the very consistent Betsy Anderson-Smith 19 minutes 25 seconds.
A big thank you should go to the staff of the Canadian High Commission who put in a lot of time and effort to stage this event each year.
Cheers and thank you,

my time was missing from the 10k women - 46:50 (23rd)
The initial post was as from The Canberra Times, Bronwyn Calver now posted as 23rd woman at 46:50
No less than 7 of the speedygeese girls were placed: Amanda, Thea, Rachelle, Kelley-with-an-e, Helen, Bronwyn, Heidi. But we Ganders? Not a sausage!
Thanks for publishing the report, Doug. This is one of the best events of the year, and really cheers us up in a gloomy Canberra winter.
Thanks Doug. Sorry I couldn't be there.
There's a movement to radically change California government, by getting rid of career politicians and chopping their salaries in half. A group known as Citizens for California Reform wants to make the California legislature a part time time job, just like it was until 1966.
