After 9 hard weeks of training, the big day arrived for our Couch to 5k runners.
Setting off at 11.00am this morning the runners were cheered on by large numbers throughout the 5k route. With passing motorists tooting horns, shouts of encouragement and homemade banners greeting our runners the length of the run it was no surprise that everyone completed the run.
There were tears of joy from participants, coaches, family members and club supporters as the final runners reached the finish line. An excellent achievement by everyone involved.
Throughout the 9 week program, the runners battled the elements, self doubt, injuries and work commitments to power on and reach their goals. You, quite rightly, should be very proud of yourselves.
Special thanks to our mentors, Anne Marie, Stephen and Michael for leading the training. Without your determination and encouragement this would not have been possible. Thanks also to Tommy (main organiser), Danso, Terry and any other club member that helped out along the way. Very much appreciated.
Once again, well done to everyone. Enjoy the well deserved celebrations.
