After the area was drenched with torrents of rain and the bike path was covered in inches of water, it was only the keen runners who ventured out. The actual runners tackled the 4 kilometres and navigated the water as best they could.
Liza Martini made a very welcome appearance this evening. She now lives in Townsville, but she is still very much a Broulee person. Back in 2007, she and Mike Kennedy started the event on 7 February of that year, when they were training for the Canberra Marathon in April. Through her many contacts she was able to attract people to the event. From those seven starters, the event has established itself on the running calendar. Many visitors enjoy the event and in holiday times we regularly get over 100 participants.
Broulee Runners will be highly active in various events this coming weekend. The Lambert family have entered events in the Melbourne Running Festival. Michael is running the marathon; Matt is running the half-marathon and Bernie is in the 10 kilometres. Karen Harding-Smith has entered the fun run at Reboot Bermagui. Jenny Taylor is a member of a Broulee Team in a 10 Kilometre Surfboat Race on Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. We look forward to the results of these champion athletes.
