300 - that's the magic number for this year...
This event has been growing from strength to strength over the past few years. We had a pre-marathon event for the local Monashians on 30th Nov where over 150 runners/support crew met up to pick up their TeamMONASH gear and meet fellow participants.
With participants from 10 different nationalities attending, this is the most diverse group we've had so far. In fact, we had over 30 participants from Monash Malaysia whom we hosted for a dinner at Lau Pa Sat on 1st Dec.
The Monash Sports crew arrived early on race day, helping the full marathoners for their 5:30am start. With the tent as our base, it was kept busy throughout the day as the runners and cheer squad checked back in regularly to participate in the activities.

It's simply amazing to see so many TeamMONASH tops on the day, and that made for a big talking point at the grounds. With the relaxed social atmosphere, baggage deposit, massage service, sumptous buffet after the race, and most importantly - fabulous photographs, it was a suitable climax to sign off on 2007 for TeamMONASH & MUAAS!
In fact, we had so many photos (over 1300!) that it took almost a week to sort through them. MUAAS would like to thank Wilson Wong (website / email) and Brendan De Souza (Monash Sports) for their brillant photos that participants will look back & cherish for a long time to come.
We'll also be uploading a selection of photos onto Facebook so you can tag yourselves there!
