Congratulations to everyone involved in making this year's Heritage Burnie 10 another great success. The race attracts elite runners from all over the world and, just as importantly, it challenges everyone in our local community to get active, whether you walk, jog, run or wheel. The Burnie 10 has grown over its 35 years to become Australia's premiere 10-kilometre race. That's an incredible achievement and only possible because of the expertise, dedication and tireless contribution of our volunteers and supportive businesses. The Heritage was again this year's premier partner. The Heritage is our local speciality cheesemaker. If you aren't familiar with the product, do yourself a favour and try the South Cape, King Island Dairy and Tasmanian Heritage range of cheeses.

Our other sponsors this year included RACT, Southern Cross, McDonald's, The Advocate, 7BU, Sea FM, Image Signs and Promotions, De Bruyn’s Transport, Stubbs Constructions, Tasports, ParaQuad Tasmania, Terry White Chemmart, Wellers Inn, Gowans Ford and Intersport. So, no matter where you live in Australia, next October why not book a holiday to Tasmania, on the beautiful north-west coast, and, while you're there, have a go at the Burnie Ten.
