The Werribee Football Club would like to thank AFL Victoria and the Wyndham Council for allowing this race to be run at half time. CEO Mark Penaluna is enthusiastic about the concept.
“I think it will be a great spectacle and really good entertainment for everyone. We would like to make this an annual event. This is our community day and there will be a lot of new people who can enjoy the race as well as the football and the various community activities”.
