Canberra turned on gorgeous weather for the lakeside Fun Run this year, and our team from MWS ACT & Region donned various shades of pink, purple and teal (the Mother’s Day event now supports both breast and ovarian cancer research) to walk/run the 5km along lake Burley Griffin.
Some of the team were aiming for PB times, others treated it more as a social activity, all had a great time – nothing like getting outdoors in our beautiful city with Autumn leaves underfoot.
