Record crowd for Mother's Day Classic

. Saturday, May 9, 2009


More than 2,500 people have turned out for the Mothers' Day Classic walk and run in Hobart.

The national event raises money for breast cancer research.

Perfect weather greeted hundreds of runners early this morning who lined up for the eight and four kilometre races on Hobart's domain.

Organisers struggled to keep up with those registering for the four kilometre walk, eventually running out of numbering bibs.

One of the organisers Alison Dixon says the turn out was overwhelming.

"Just amazing, I'm one of the very lucky people who gets to stand on the stage and watch the crowd and in the walk today we believe we have over 1800 people so it's absolutely fantastic," Ms Dixon said..

It's hoped $30,000 will be raised from today's event. link...
