5km International Women's Day Fun Run
Sunday March 6, no sleep in today!
Dean, Vicky, Clients and Friends took up the challenge to Run or Walk in the International Women's Day Fun Run for 2016.
Looking like professional athletes in their specially printed MCKFS t-shirts and with perfect weather conditions, we were all ready to take home the 'GOLD'!!!
Vicky McKinnon was first over the line in the group, (no surprises there!), closely followed by Arnav - THEY WERE BOTH TOO QUICK FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER!!
The group celebrated their achievements over breakfast at The Lazy Dog Cafe at Newstead.

Alex, and his Mum, Michelle, had other ideas & were determined to give them a run for their money! | Sue, Vicky, Vicki and Jedda psyching themselves up for a big one! |
