43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: who haven't taken part before, there's a few different races

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: that they can take part in as well. Isn't there

45
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: that is correct.

46
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: So we have our traditional twelve point seven kilometers starting

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: at Double Tree Hilton in the city on the Esplanade,

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: finishing at Nightcliff. Then we have our four kilometer Administrators Run,

49
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:51,079

Speaker 2: kilometers starting and finishing at Nightclif offer.

52
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: All good stuff. Kids love the one point two kilometers.

53
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: I know that plenty of schools take part or get

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: involved as well, which is always fantastic to see.

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: That's right. And the great thing about the one point two,

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: of course, is the kids can run it independently. Mum

57
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: and dad can of course always follow along. Is that

58
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: is Mum and dad are feeling nervous, but it is

59
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: It's a safe course. The kids can just go like

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: that's out of hell. And of course coming under the

61
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: awesome finish line arch and getting one of those medals

62
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,720
