Townsville Bulletin - 28.01.2009 SIMON O'Regan had every reason to jump for joy on Saturday. The Townsville Road Runner not only came in second in the 4.4km run, but also won the best-dressed segment. O'Regan dressed as your typical Aussie bloke with football socks, singlet and a beer in his hand. "I finished second dressed like that so there wasn't a lot of depth in the race," O'Regan said. "There were more recreational runners which was good." The Australia Day Fun Run attracted bigger numbers than previous years. "It was definitely a bigger turn-out than last year, because the fact we had a very nice morning and a very nice stadium to run in," he said. "We started in the stadium and then did a lap around to Riverside Tavern and then Douglas and then back on to the freeway and finished with a lap in the stadium which was nice." Newcomer Anthony Craig took top spot. "Anthony won and ran it in about 13.33," O'Regan said. "Anthony was using it as preparation for the Queensland and national titles."O'Regan hoped the runners would return for the official start of the Townsville Road Runners season – the Playtime Dash For Cash on March 2.
