2016 Santanol Kununurra 1/2 Marathon: A Great Run in the Sun
Congratulations to all the runners in the 2016 Santanol Kununurra 1/2 Marathon.
Sunny conditions on Sunday 19th June greeted a large field of runners in the 2016 Santanol Kununurra ½ Marathon.
It was fantastic to see locals and visitors tackle the 21.1km, with 30 entrants taking on the distance solo. The remainder of the field tackled the course as Duo’s or Quads. It was fantastic to see four quad teams from the East Kimberley Clontarf Academy in this year’s event.
There were some outstanding personal best performances throughout the day, with many of the solo entrants completing the 21.1km for the first time. Conditions, were getting warmer during the morning, so it was fantastic to have every entrant safely finished by just after 9am.
In a new race record time of 1:16:16, Marc See, who was here on holiday from Perth, set the course alight with a time that is anticipated to remain a record for many years to come. Mark is one of very few Australian runners who has run a sub four minute mile, so it was fantastic to have him in the event.
The women’s race was won by local Gemma Hayley in 1:42:02, who is all set to tackle a full 42.2km marathon in two weeks’ time. Congratulations to ‘Team Teal’, our fastest quad and ‘Fun for Young and Old’, our fastest duo.
Organiser’s would like to thank all the supporters, our sponsors and the amazing volunteers who all make this event possible.
