The 2011 event is shaping up to be the biggest in the race’s history, with more than 80,000 people expected to enter the 14km event, and the marathon man of wheelchair sports and two-time Paralympic champion Kurt Fearnley on hand to kick start the event’s first ever elite wheelchair start.
Runners can make their participation even more rewarding by fundraising for their favourite charity. To incentivise participants, The Sun-Herald will donate $10,000 to the chosen charity of the both the highest fundraising individual and team.
The event aims to raise much needed funds for more than 500 charities. With $2.8 million raised in 2010 for charities across the country, participants are encouraged to help raise even more in 2011.
