The students ran for a distance of 2,000 metres. There was a total of 500 students at this event from 14 local schools. Some 46 students from OLV completed the distance. Well done! The weather was great! A huge thank you to Amelia Maddern, Shey Angove, Brianna Schwidder, Michelle Edwards, & Tanita Rodgers for helping with marshalling and first aid. Thank you to Tina Ida, Sandra Naismith and Frank DeTullio for supervising the students. Thank you also to the Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club for cooking a BBQ and Stir for their Coffee Van.
