The Flinders Island Running Festival is a great event which I was glad to participate in.
The Festival provides the opportunity for the local community, as well as competitors from other states, to participate in weekend events at any speed, pace or gait they please.
For many local families it’s a way of getting together and celebrating Father’s Day. There are no time restrictions or expectations for those who like to take their time, but there is plenty of competition for runners who like to test themselves.
The Festival is organised by volunteers from Fitness on Flinders Incorporated, and sponsored by Hydro Tasmania.
I was honoured with the privilege of helping with presentations at the conclusion of the event. I commend athletes for their participation in this great event that showcases the beauty of Flinders Island.
