It is a well organised race with an excellent record. It is all done by volunteers and supporters of the Mt Wilson and the Bilpin Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades. It is for those brigades that the funds from this run are raised. The run was the idea of a former Mt Wilson resident and bush runner, Ross Bill. Ross, in his training runs, mapped the course and after 12 months of persistence, in mid 1995, convinced the Bilpin Rural Fire Brigade to organise the event, in conjunction with the Mt Wilson Rural Fire Brigade, as a fundraiser. The first run was organised in just 3 months with 66 starters, with Andrew Lloyd the winner. The event gained acceptance with runners and continues to grow. contact: Michael Garvan. email: organiser@bilpinbushrun.com.au. Visit the website for more details. Click here for an entryform. |
