Doin’ it for the kids

This Sunday will see the ‘Run For The Kids’ take over the streets of Melbourne (much like the weather did last weekend).

The race, conducted annually to raise money for our Royal Children’s Hospital, takes competitors on a rather scenic 14.6 kilometre (that’s right folks – 14.6 kilometre) course starting at Kings Domain, through the Domain Tunnel over the Bolte Bridge back into the city via the Docklands, past the Arts Centre and finishing up where they started.

This year’s run sees National Pharmacies step up as a major sponsor and anyone that knows CUBED knows we’re always up for supporting a client – particularly when it’s for a good cause. In fact it’s the sixth children’s charity we’ve helped out in the last 12 months.

So joining 29,996 other runners will be The CUBED team, consisting of Production Manager Brendan “Lone Wolf” Hanrahan, Art Director Daniel “The Kid” Gretch, Account Manager Laura “Bunny” Campbell and Creative Director Dave “Old Man” Scott.

Though Laura is unwilling to state publicly what time we should expect from her, Dan and Brendan are a safe bet for no more than an hour 15, whereas Dave is already making excuses in case he’s still not finished until next Tuesday.

If you’re in the area, pop on down and give them a cheer, or if you’d like to donate a couple of dollars to the Royal Children’s Hospital yourself and support a great cause without having to get blisters just click here.

    My prediction is – Bunny will win, Hairy Hands a close second, The Kid will come in third and Old Man Scott will do a hip (maybe both) and need airlifting to the Children’s for emergency surgery.

    Good luck guys.

    Ok, so here’s what happened. Brendan turned up looking quite ill, and then struggled with not actually being quite ill right in front of us, so he was a late scratching.

    Laura was running late but still ran on time. Dan ran home on Friday night quite drunk.

    During the race, i got worried when i saw someone collapsed by the side of the road and what thought i were vultures, but they turned out to be pigeons.

    The claim of a scenic route was somewhat an over sell as i just kept looking at all the people overtaking me.

    And i really hated that guy with the pram on the bridge. It’s called run FOR the kids, not WITH.

    At the end of it all, the official times are:
    Dave 1:11
    Laura 1:25
    Dan 1:30
    Brendan DNF

    Til next year, d
