40km Drink Station Volunteer Team.

The 20 strong team had a great day volunteering at the 40km drink station for yet another year. An Australian all time marathon record number of finishing runners, made the drink team very focussed, with so many runners coming passed. Most were drowned in Gatorade by the end of the day, which started before sunrise.

The highlight every year is acknowledging the Aths Ess runners by giving them a special extra cheer. We missed our drink station regular Arthur Whitchell, after 25 years give or take.

Many thanks to Judy Tweddle for again captaining our team and keeping us on track. The club acknowledges the legacy of Lou Citroen who was the instigator of Athletics Essendon having a drink station at the MMF. Thanks to Steve Murphy for taking over the reins this year and organising the team. No easy task.

Massive thanks go to Team Knox who made up four members of our team. Thanks to all of drink team volunteers and all of the Red Black Running team members.They all missed out on their Sunday morning sleep-in or their long runs.
The annual drink station generates a valuable payment from IMG who own the MMF to our club.100% of the payment from IMG goes directly into club general revenue and is always a handy boost to club finances.Please consider joining our drink station team in 2020 and assist your club in collecting income.
