Too Young at 5 y.o. for a Marathon ??

Too Young for a Marathon

I hope the young person mentioned is not intending to run the Marathon, but one of the associated events.

05Jun08


MORE than 8000 people from 23 countries have entered this year's Gold Coast marathon on Sunday, July 6.
Plenty of entries have come from the major international markets of Japan, New Zealand and the United States, but there has also been an influx from Korea, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the UK.
Even Jersey, Argentina, Italy and Austria will be represented.
There are 82 years exactly between the youngest and oldest participants.

The youngest, Newcastle's Patrick Bognar, will celebrate his fifth birthday on race day, as will the eldest, Ipswich's Joy Ward, who will turn 87.
