On a balmy Sunday morning over 6,300 participants took part in the third annual Rebel Sport Run4Fun presented by The Sun-Herald. Marty Dent led the field from start to finish (almost beating his race record time of 29.10) in a time of 29.35 edging out training partner Anthony Haber (30.08) and Stephen Thurston (31.41).
“I’m thrilled to have won and even more so to have my mate Anthony come in second. This is our last event before we head to Japan to compete in a few weeks, so it’s a nice note to finish on,” said Dent.
Sutherland Shire resident Belinda Martin took line honours in the women’s field with a time of 35.29 ahead of Tara Prowse (36.41) and Andrea Ilakovac (37.01).
“I’m really happy because the course has a lot of turns and the heat was extreme. I’m training for a series of events and we put in a very big week and I was feeling a bit flat, so I’m surprised,” she said.
The heroes of today have been the many runners, walkers, pushers, mum’s, dad’s and families who have come out in support of local charities. So far over $114,000 has been raised for organisations across the country including the three New South Wales based children’s hospitals. The Sydney Children’s Hospital Network and the John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle.
