Six Team Vegan members participated in the Devonport Classic fun run on Sunday 6th April. Peter Sankoff, Graeme Mullholland and Jiarn Cornwell ran the 5km; and Nichola Jones, Aaron Koolen and Deidre Bourke did the 10km event. Unfortunately our seventh member, Amanda, had to pull out at the last minute due to sickness. The Devonport Classic is a great little community fun run, with several thousand people participating. The run was much tougher than expected (perhaps we should have done more research!). The 10km course traversed a range of terrains - lots of hills, paddocks and even a good long stretch of running on sand down the beach at Narrow Neck Bay. The largest hill was the volcanic cone of North Head, which seemed to go up and up forever. On the up side, it was a chance to catch the many other participants who resorted to walking at that point! Aaron, Deidre and Nichola are all training for their first half marathon in November (with Team Vegan of course) so this run made a good medium distance run as part of their training schedule. Lots of spot prizes and awards were given out - for fastest finishers as well as best hat and costumes. Wouldn't you know it, Amanda won a spot prize, but they wouldn't allow it to be collected as she didn't do the run. You would have won a reflexology session Amanda! Next time!
