On a day when people might have been tempted to just stay in bed or in front of the heater away

from the rain showers and wind, we saw well over 100 people come out in support of our charity

event!

The run held at Crusoe Reservoir, Kangaroo Flat saw runners, walkers and Righteous Pups take to

the course in great spirits and sense of community. Pre-and-post-race made for a fantastic

atmosphere with approximately 140 people in attendance made up of runners, walkers, kids,

volunteers and spectators alike.

Heightening the feel-good vibe was the attendance of Lani Vaughn from Gecko Sports Bendigo who

did an awesome pre-race warm up complete with motivational music as well as coordinating the

kids race along with BAC volunteers.

Supplementing all that was the attendance of Brew2u Mobile Coffee Van along with RPA volunteers

who were manning the BBQ. It meant there was something for everyone even the spectators!

The 5km course itself was a scenic, meandering course with only very slight undulations making it an

enjoyable run/walk for beginners through to the more competitive participants. With the rain

largely holding off the slight cool breeze lent to good conditions for those participating. Jacob Nolan

the man who started the ball rolling for this event was a popular winner of the race adding this

triumph to his growing list of victories!

The Bendigo Athletic Club and Righteous Pups particularly wish to thank the Kangaroo Flat IGA supermarket

who donated all the sausages for the BBQ as well as water and soft drinks.  The BAC and RPA

thank the Kangaroo Flat IGA for their extraordinary generosity which helped enormously to greatly increase

the amount raised for the Righteous Pups!
