KensingTAN
The JJ Holland Park has a new walking/running circuit. The 1.2km track roughly runs around the park’s circumference. Since its construction, it has been used by joggers, walkers, riders, dogwalkers, kids on trikes, you name it! It has been lovingly nicknamed, the KensingTAN.
Due to the inclement weather, the number of events was drastically reduced. The results are as follows :
TAN open event (5 laps)
- Ruwanmal Palapathwala 21.04 (aged 17)
- John Smith 21.24
- Michael Becker 22.26
Race for Town Hall winner
- Donna Lancaster (Greens) successfully ‘ran for council’.
Runners Stats

Youngest 3 yrs old - Adult’s Run – 40 runners (+ 3 dogs).
Oldest runner mayoral candidate Bob ‘King’Crawford septuagenarian
