Flaggy 5 continues to draw record numbers
WARRNAMBOOL’S ‘Flaggy 5’continues to attract a large number of competitors each Wednesday night.
The event, organised by the Warrnambool Running Club, sees participants enjoy a five kilometre or 2.5 kilometre fun run from Flagstaff Hill.
The cost to enter is just $5, with 50 per cent of profits donated to the Crystal Lee Foundation.
Last week more than 205 participants enjoyed the event while this week saw a record 241 participants.
Results from last week: 5km – Charlotte Staaks and Callum Wade; 2.5km- Miranda Jansz and Lewis Hopper.
This week (Wednesday) saw Lexie Gleisner and Adam Molan take out the 2.5km race while Charlitte Versace and Beau Morrison were the respective winners of the 5km run.
“Our club is extremely happy with the number of participants who have been taking part each week,” club member Peter Molan said.
“Each week our sponsors have donated prizes for random placings throughout all events and this is greatly appreciated.
“The running club will start its new season shortly, which will incorporate 12 events over four distances – 5km, 6km, 8km and 10km.”
