Stromlo Running Festival
2010 Results
STROMLO Running Festival is now in its second year and will take place in
Canberra on the weekend of the 19th-21st February 2010. On-site camping and
caravan facilities will provide a unique opportunity for participants to
submerse themselves in weekend crammed full of running, seminars, presentations,
entertainment, socialising, and food and drink. Organised by Run For Your Life
in conjunction with Robert de Castella and the ACT Cross Country Club, the weekend
promises to build on the reputation of the inaugural event.
There are eight different running events to choose from over the weekend;
providing variety and choice for every single runner, regardless of ability
or experience. Catering will be provided on-site and will offer a selection
of meals at affordable prices.
