Outram Half Marathon
#204 Do - celebrate finishing the Shoe Clinic Hill Free Half Marathon in Outram with the lovely race director Merrilee! The course was originally made in the 1970s by the Presbyterian Harrier Club. It's very appealing being hill free but also a good challenge in the long stretches at times on the Taieri Flat with great rural scenery. It was so well organised (amazing job Merrilee) with super supportive volunteers. Also thanks to the tall guy with the hat and my friend Lucy for keeping me going (it's always good having someone to chase)! Each year a charity is chosen to donate money raised by the event, this year is the Otago Community Hospice, an incredibly important service in our community.
