Dear McGrath Launceston Running Festival ,
Congratulations on producing the fastest 10km run on Australian soil this year.
Edward Marks' 27:57 is absolutely ridiculous. ππ₯
However...
We would like to submit a formal complaint from Devonport.
While you had the fastest runner, we appear to have collected everyone else.
Of the top 10 men's times recorded this year on Australian soil.
2nd π₯ 28:44 β Devonport
3rd π₯ 28:48 β Devonport
4th 28:55 β Devonport
5th 29:01 β Devonport
6th 29:06 β Devonport
7th 29:08 β Devonport
So while Launnie produced the rocket ship, Bluff 2 Boat Ramp apparently produced the traffic jam of sub-29s. π
We are therefore claiming the unofficial title of:
"Australia's fastest 10km this year (until proven otherwise)."
Yours sincerely,
The people who put the turnaround cone in exactly the right place.

Disclaimer- we know we not the fastest, but we hope Richard finds this funny. π¬
