About

In September 2011, 17-year-old Robert Connor Dawes ran from his home in Sandringham to the boatsheds on the Yarra. He'd started his training for the upcoming rowing season early, as he wanted to make the Brighton Grammar 1st VIII. Not loving running, he did the 18.8 km because he was determined to be the best he could be. Little did he know that in his head was more than fierce determination: there was also a tumour growing. Connor had unknowingly begun his battle.

Pacers

Pacemaker groups will run on the day with the 18.8 km starting at 09:00, the 9.6 km at 09:30 and the 3 km at 10:00. Pacers are provided for each wave to help runners maintain target times; see the event website for current pacer time targets and flag identifiers.
