Radio 1RPH volunteer readers and presenters joined guides and runners from the Achilles Running Club to walk or run around Lake Burley Griffin on Canberra Day. It was a sterling effort for some of the Achilles runners who had backed up from the Orange Running Festival the day before, some of them sporting some bright red sunburn but looking stunning in their sunflower tights.
