SMH 21.1, Great Ocean Rd & The Big Swim
/Well done everyone on all your gutsy Sydney Morning Herald half marathon / relay runs & cheering out on course. We had many runners, but we're still adding in all their results & official times see further below and also for the GOR results.
Thank you Rejoov Runners on your fundraising support for Sophie Cotton Smith's Running for Premature Babies, we are amazed and thankful for what they have achieved for saving babies & supporting families. It was a big celebration post race and at the Coogee Diggers that afternoon for all the premmie babies fam.
Congratulations Rio Olympian Liam Adams (follow on Instagram @liamadamsrunner ) on his win in the smh half in 65.11. Thanks sponsor ICG - Internal Consulting Group Himanshu Dua for your support to Rejoov and awesome to see ICG getting behind runners such as Liam to sponsor them cash! Elite runners put so much into the sport that they deserve sponsorship and it's great coverage for a quality company. Win-Win. We were thrilled to have Liam hang out with us for a while at the Rejoov & Premmie Babies tents, such a great down to earth guy!
