52-year-old Anthony Poore of Gorokan is dusting off his sneakers for this year’s Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn and even though he hasn’t been in a fun run since the 1990s, he’s ready to tackle Sydney’s steepest hill run for the first time.
Every dollar raised from the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn on Sunday, May 28, will help to provide essential, and often lifesaving, medical equipment and health initiatives to about 500 hospitals and health services right across Australia including Gosford Hospital and Wyong Hospital.
Poore will be running with his fellow Hobson Engineering colleagues from the Newcastle branch in the Build & Construction Industry Relay 4 x 105m event.
For the first time, Hobson Engineering is a Tier 1 sponsor of the Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn with five teams in the annual milestone event which has raised more than $31M to date in its 21-year history.
Created by Wallaby great and Humpty Dumpty Balmoral Burn Ambassador, Phil Kearns, the Balmoral Burn is 420m worth of burn.
There are more than 20 different race categories in this year’s event, including the return of the Celebration Run.
Registrations can be made at www.balmoralburn.com.au to participate in this year’s event as an individual, family, school, sporting team, community group, with your pet, or as a corporate team.
The first race starts at 8.20am from Awaba St, Mosman.
