00:00 Go, go, go!
00:02 All right, you've got to go as fast as that.
00:04 Are you guys ready?
00:06 Three, two, one, go!
00:10 Here we go, the 50th anniversary, ladies and gentlemen.
00:12 Tier 1, that's half the community,
00:14 half the population of Tamworth,
00:16 ready to run.
00:18 Probably a couple of hundred runners in that lot, we'll let you know a little bit later on exactly how...
00:22 [applause]
00:24 ...get past the post, Stephen Chuck!
00:26 Stephen Chuck, ladies and gentlemen,
00:28 second place at this stage, Gerald McPherson,
00:30 given up by Emerson, comes over the line,
00:32 Stephen Chuck, winner of this event.
00:34 Well, Greg, back for another year.
00:36 How's this festival shaping?
00:38 Yeah, it's been wonderful, actually.
00:40 Increased numbers from last year,
00:42 particularly in the half marathon, nearly 100 competitors in the half marathon.
00:44 It's been very pleasing this year,
00:46 particularly the amount of people
00:48 that have come from outside of Tamworth to actually compete.
00:50 What's it mean to you to come to this event each year?
00:52 I don't know.
00:54 It's great for the community.
00:56 It's pretty cool that Tamworth can put on an event
00:58 as big as this and draw in a crowd like this.
01:00 So, yeah, it means a lot in that way.
01:02 Good atmosphere.
01:04 Yeah, excellent.
01:06 Alright, thank you very much.
01:08 [applause]
01:10 [cheering]
01:12 These are the runners for the 10k,
01:14 sponsored by Sampson's Car Repairs.
01:16 Look for the priorities down here in the skirt.
01:18 Not that that's an unusual thing these days for 2023.
01:20 Come out of his personal wardrobe.
01:22 You might have borrowed that one off Mark Sutherland, actually,
01:24 one of his outfits from last night.
01:26 What does that mean to you?
01:28 It's good to come back.
01:30 It's good to come back.
01:32 I didn't quite get in the 5k
01:34 because it was a very good 5k run.
01:36 Run all the way from Sydney.
01:38 I'm glad I actually grabbed the 10k in the half marathon
01:40 and the triple.
