TeamMONASH™ big presence at Melbourne Marathon

22 August 2007

Competitors in previous TeamMONASH™ events are being called on to take part in the Melbourne Marathon.

Running into the MCG on Sunday 7 October will be the realisation of a dream for many participants in the Melbourne Marathon.

Competitors of all ages and fitness levels are signing up for the annual event across a range of distances from 5.5km to the full 42.2km.

TeamMONASH™ will be supporting a huge team of 300 participants and providing the same services seen at previous events, such as the Mothers Day Classic (pictured), from team masseurs to a free Puma running top for team members.

Event patron Professor Ron Weber said he expected a good response from staff and students.

"I've run the last two Melbourne half marathons as part of the Monash team.  With so many Monash participants, there's a wonderful sense of camaraderie and the Monash support team is outstanding. They're always very helpful and encouraging," Professor Weber said.

Registering as a participant or volunteer on the Monash Sport website also gives the added benefit of TeamMONASH™ membership.

At the conclusion of the event, members can also hang out with other TeamMONASH™ athletes and volunteers in a VIP Marquee which offers massage, drinks and snacks for all team members.

To register, just follow these simple steps:

  1. Sign up on the Melbourne Marathon website. Remember to select "TeamMONASH" as your team.
  2. Complete the TeamMONASH™ online registration form.
  3. Get sponsored. Take on the challenge of getting sponsored to support the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre, which is the official charity of the event.
