00:08We're a family friendly club. We're not interested in in finished
00:12times. We just want to get people out and about. It obviously draws a lot of
00:16people from out of town. There was 306 people from out of the
00:19the Temworth postcode so from further away from Otunga. So it brings people
00:24in to Temworth. So we had 883 registered this year which is more than we had last
00:31year so we'd be absolutely blown away. Even as late as last Saturday afternoon
00:35there was only 430 entrants so we had about 450 in the last week sign up which
00:41was yeah it was it was awesome. A lot of the profits from the running festival go
00:48towards the Belimble school. We also donate to other charities as well which
00:53contribute to the local Lions Clubs and it does allow a little bit left over to go
00:59towards the Temworth Rifle meets. So that keeps the cost down for them as well and just
01:05allows more participation. Some of the proceeds from today will go towards some
01:09playground upgrades and and playground activities for our students to keep
01:13them engaged and in meaningful sort of fitness based activities throughout the
01:17school day. We live on a property out of Lansford out of Mirondi. Yeah. So we come
01:22up every day because the school has just been amazing for for Jim. It means so
01:29much to have Jim going to Belimble. We travel 1200 k's a week to bring Jim to
01:36Tamworth to school because it's just the most amazing environment for him and it's
01:42going to mean he's going to be the best that he can be.
