Going the Mile for the Friendly Games

It wasn't about who crossed the finish line first, but about everyone who turned up and got amongst it. The Masters Mile brought competitors, supporters and the community together for an afternoon of movement, mateship and good old-fashioned Friendly Games fun.

A mile might not sound like much, but yesterday's Masters Mile delivered a whole lot of Friendly Games spirit.

With a fantastic turnout of participants and supporters, the event brought people together for a little exercise, plenty of encouragement and a healthy dose of fun.

Whether they were setting the pace, taking it at a leisurely stroll or cheering from the sidelines, everyone had a part to play.

And that was exactly what made the afternoon so special.

There were smiles, laughs and plenty of encouragement along the way, proving once again that the Friendly Games are about far more than medals and finishing times.

After a busy few days of competition, the Masters Mile offered a chance to enjoy being active without the pressure of a podium finish.

It was a celebration of participation, friendship and the simple joy of getting out there and giving it a go.
