Room 17 would like to thank the range of people that took time to participate in this year's half way Ks. People from all ages ran, walked, scooted, swam and even surfed their way to a kilometre and entered their data ready for Room 17 to devour.

It was fantastic to see so many results added to our google form. We are so lucky to have so much support. 

​Thank You.
