The 27th edition of the Mini-Mos Marathon run through the streets of Mosman in Sydney's lower north shore welcomed a record field close to 2,500 to take on one of the most challenging 10km events.
There were a number of high profile people out for the Sunday morning run with the new Channel Seven recruit Mark Ferguson proving to be the fastest television news reader coming home in 45:41. The two fittest men in Federal parliament Pat Farmer and Tony Abbott set a great example for their colleagues with Pat finishing in 45:06 and Tony 49:28. The Mini-Mos Ambassador Melinda Gainsford-Taylor finished in 55:06. The event provides valuable support to the Starlight Foundation and Giant Steps charities.
The event certainly was one of the most challening short distance events with the damp conditions and steep hills proving to be a major factor for most. In the approach to the final stages I noticed Tony Abbott pass me on the inside and this provided just the motivation to step up and come home a little stronger to ensure bragging rights in a time of 49:17!
It was a great honour to represent "Team Footpoint" in this event as Footpoint is the leading Shoe Clinic in Mosman that provides free motion assessment using the brilliant t-r-a-c® system and provides a 30 day fit guarantee with freindly professional support.
