Run The Whitsunday Great Walk 2009 - Sun 20 Sep

Definitely back for 2009. Your editor Greg ran it in 2006 and 2007 and can’t recommend it highly enough - its hard to go past a run through rainforest that finishes beside a seaside lagoon. Brisbanites should be watch out now for cheap airfares to Proserpine, or MacKay at a pinch - both offer buses to the start at Airlie Beach. Get fit before you go, it’s a tough 28km!
