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.

 

SPECIAL THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE/BUSINESSES WHO HELPED MAKE OUR FIRST EVENT SO SUCCESSSFUL

  • Sharryn Draper from Dirty Boots Design who designed and arranged the printing of our T-shirts.
  • Kayla from Kayla Duckham Photography for taking the photos and making us look like Olympic athletes!
  • Claudia and Ivan from The Lazy Dog Café for a delicious breakfast
  • Sue from Sizzling Towards 60who helped with the Social Media Management and joined the run to prove that age is just a number!

 

 

Vicky and Sue were raring to go bright and early.  They had been training with Sue's Saturday Sisters so were keen to get to the head of the pack!

 

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!

 

Early arrivers L to R, Sue, the Vicky, Vicki, Dean, Alex, Michelle & Jedda - We were keen!

Jane and Karen joined the group - don't those T-shirts look amazing!!

 

 

It was a family affair with Ajay and Archna and theirs sons Arush (he's the taller one) and Arnav.  But why is Archna laughing???

 

Archna couldn't control herself when Arnav suggested he would outrun her!

Getting closer to the START LINE!
