Once again, the popularity of this event was evident as the 6000 entries sold out early in December. Also on the day’s programme will be the Rehidrat Sport 5km Dash, so there is something for the whole family – but take note that you need to get there early to avoid the traffic. The route for 2015 remains the same, taking runners through the scenic suburbs of Bedfordview, and take note that this will be a ChampionChip-timed event, so make sure your chip is attached to your laces if you want to be an official finisher!
