Marathon Man takes on the Balmoral Burn!
The Balmoral Burn was the first race back on home soil for the Marathon Man. The start line for the Balmoral Burn is at the bottom of Awaba Street in Balmoral Beach. The course is a very steep incline of 420 meters straight up Awaba Street hill.
The Balmoral Burn was started in 2001 by the former Australian Wallabies Rugby Union player Phil Kearns and is a major charity fundraising event for the Humpty Dumpty Foundation with all funds raised going towards purchasing vital life-saving and pain-reducing equipment for neo-natal and paediatric wards in Sydney's Hospitals.
Following the completion of the race there was a incredible burning sensation in the throat, chest and head. Result - 2 minutes 22 seconds Position - 20th. Burn Baby Burn! The news cameras captured all the pain with the footage making it on to the Channel 7 Evening News in Sydney. The event today was a great success for all involved with the first class organisation very impressive and more than $2 million raised to help the kids.
