Freak’n Fun Fundraiser

Each parent had a flag belt with four flag ‘lives’. We ran 5km against the clock, tackled 13 course obstacles that got us climbing, crawling and jumping, all the while evading scary zombies who tried to steal our flags. Like ripper rugby only much muddier.

Held at Spookers, the course included parts of the Kingseat grounds, Spookers Freaky Forest, and areas of neglected zombie-infested paddocks, scrub and swamp.

Three of our team placed in the top 10. Shane Spackman came 4th, Greg Ward was 5th and Nicole Fricker 6th. WOW.
