00:20Okay, how do you feel about today's event?

01:05Hey Greg, how's this year's event shaping up?

01:08This year's event's been absolutely huge actually.

01:11Nearly just over 600 entries all up, not counting the walkers.

01:16I think there's about 100 or so in the walks.

01:18So you're looking at a total number for the morning of around 700.

01:22200 in the 10, 200 in the half marathon, 200 in the 5 and 100 in the walk.

01:29Great morning.

01:30How does that compare to previous years?

01:32It's the biggest year we've had probably in at least the last 10 years.

01:36So it's a great day.

01:40I love it, I love it!
