Today’s events
1:30 MARATHON EXPO opens at Manuka Oval
2:30 2k mini-jog for under 10s.
3:30 5k fun run

Tomorrow 7:00am half marathon, marathon, and ultra start together at Manuka Oval.

Marathon pacers
These are the pacers we have for the marathon:
3:00 Brett Cartwright
3:45 Kerrie Bremner
4:00 Roger Pilkington
They will be carrying brightly coloured balloons for easy identification.

"Runners and spectators are advised that there is plenty of parking in the Telopea Park area.  On both days runners and spectators should not park on either Manuka Circle or Telopea Park West.  These roads form part of all courses.  On Saturday afternoon runners are requested not to park in NSW Crescent as this forms part of the 5k course. There will be no parking within Manuka Oval for runners and spectators. Also be mindful that Belconnen will be playing Ainslie at Manuka on Saturday and so there will be less parking than normal."
To everybody competing this weekend, have a good run, and enjoy the day!
