A new and adventurous concept in Australian distance running
- the GREAT OCEAN ROAD INTERNATIONAL MARATHON - was unearthed in 2005.
Wheelchair Athletes' Challenge
Scott Nicholas from the Running Company in Pakington Street Geelong West has wise tips and advise on training for the Festival of running weekend.
Check out the web site and follow the links.
This year we have a wonderful sponsor in Mizuno and they have manufactured a TShirt for the marathon for both men and women
They can be ordered with your entry, as many as you like.
The quality is exceptional and Scott Nicholas says,"this is the best Tshirt I've ever seen offered at an event like this."
"The fit is so good and the fabric and finishing excellent."
See opposite some pictures of the men's and women's modelled by Scott and Hayley Burrell.
