“Thanks to everyone who came, waited, ran, jogged or walked-with-style their 100m leg of our attempt at a Guinness World Record.

A big thank you to Matt Shirvington’s dad, Phil for starting off our 100m event on behalf of his famous Australian record-holding son.

Thanks too to IGOR - the Manly Sea Eagle Mascot who flew down the track still on a victorious ‘high’ – Good Luck for this week Manly! 

We also thank Hon. MP Brad Hazzard for giving his ‘dodgy’ knee a work out down the track.  We crossed live-to-air on ABC 702 Radio during the race with thanks to a nimble roving reporter ……………………. At 3.15pm we equaled the Cheshire Oaks High School, UK record of 801 participants with a leg by our oldest runner and sprightly grandfather 80yrs young …  and BROKE THE RECORD with our own High School Record holder Josh Smith - to much jubilation by those still on the side lines. Thanks to the Army Reserve vehicle for providing the ‘horn-fan-fare’.  By 4.25  we had clocked up 944 individual participants! We now await official recognition from GWR  - so watch this space! 

Sincere thanks to the baton change officials – Sean Sadimoen for keeping our runners coming - staff, students, parents and community for their generous support of this and all our fabulous FUNDAY events.”
