THE GREAT ANZAC RUN ARRIVES IN LONDON

The busy London streets were lined with well wishers and all ex-pat Aussies cheered loudly as the entire running group ran the last stretch from Westminster Bridge to the Australian memorial in Hyde Park. After 4075km, the Great Anzac Run has completed the running stage with only an official function tomorrow night at the Australian High Commission.

Proudly wearing their Linfox tops and being escorted by the Scania pumper (our two major sponsors of the Great Anzac Run), and despite being slightly out of tune, the group sang a rousing rendition of the Australian National Anthem. Congratulations to all of the runners, support staff, sponsors and family and friends at home who have made this amazing dream become a reality. These memories will never be forgotten.

Please take some time to watch the footage taken from Tynecot cemetery near Passendale in Belguim. It is these images that highlight why the Great Anzac Run has taken place and why the Melbourne Fire Brigade runners have provided a tribute to our generation of soldiers who lost their lives for the freedom of our wonderful country, Australia.
