September 20th is the date for the 2009 Medi Marathon to be held on the shores of Lake (??) Wendouree. St John of God Hospital Ballarat are very aware of the hardship that has or may reach many of you, and want to make this year’s Medi Marathon a positive target to work towards. 

The motto is TICK YOUR TARGET. You have a choice of entering the 21 km, 10 km or 5 km run/walk events.  Set yourself a target, get some friends or work colleagues together, and follow our online 6 month training program that has been prepared by Shane Nankervis.

Alternatively, you could come and run with the Tann Clann. The Tann Clann leave from the Canoe Club on the East side of Lake Wendouree every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 am and work toward the Melbourne Marathon that will be held on October 11, 2009.

We will be launching the 2009 Medi Marathon on March 11. You can join us at 6 am for a gentle 8 to 10 km run with the Tann Clann, or get some friends together, do a lap of the lake walking or running, and meet us at the Canoe Club for breakfast at 6.45 am.

Please let me know if you are coming and I will make sure we have enough brekky for  everyone. Gold coin donation would be appreciated.
