The race was well organised and fun, runners were supported along the way - great - and the atmosphere was fantastic - thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of the day.
- 2009 Great Australian Run - How did you do?- Elite top 20- Australian National Road Running Championships
Whether you ran, jogged, walked or rolled, congratulations to everyone who participated in the 2009 Great Australian Run!
More than 3000 of you braved the soggy Melbourne weather on Sunday and enjoyed the unique opportunity to participate alongside the world’s best athletes whilst targeting your own personal goals and in many cases, raising money for your favourite charity.
And it wasn't only the adults who got to have all of the fun. Hundreds of kids and families pulled on their runners and were let loose around Albert Park on Saturday for the IGA Great Australian Family and Junior Run.
Olympic 400m champion Cathy Freeman set them off, a sea of painted faces and happy kids running for fun in the Saturday morning sun.
We want to hear from you about the event, what was good, what was bad and what was ugly!! We strive to make the event as good as we can, so your thoughts are important to us.
We look forward to seeing you at Albert Park again next year!
