A collection of images from the 2019 Fitzy's 5 Fun Run held on Sunday August 4th 2019.
The weather was fantastic and so was the support in honouring David Fitzsimons - SA's fastest ever 5k runner! Over 300 runners hit the streets of North Adelaide and tackled a fast 5k road course which resulted in a new course record by the Male winner, Adrian Potter and a near course record by the female winer, Tara Palm.
It's so amazing to see so many out running with smiles and getting moving for an active lifestyle. We hope you join us again in 2020!

Honour Fitzy by using this image frame! We're almost ready for August 4th!

David “Fitzy” Fitzsimons was one of Australia’s leading distance runners in the 1970’s. Renowned for being able to push himself to the point of absolute exhaustion, the stories about Fitzy are as legendary as his racing feats.

Fitzy won 8 Australian Championships over 5000m and 10000m, including the double on 3 occasions. A dual Olympian, an Olympic finalist over 10000m, a 6th placing in the 1974 Commonwealth Games and a bronze medal over 5000m at the 1977 World Cup made Dave Fitzsimons one of the greats.

A proud South Australian, Fitzy had a lively sense of humour and was a devoted husband and proud father. Forever a picture of fitness, sadly, Fitzy was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. As tenacious and determined as Fitzy was, even he couldn’t beat this opponent and tragically, he passed away on September 7, 2008 at the age of 58.
