ACT Chief Minister JON STANHOPE is the ACT Patron of the World Harmony Run in 2008.
Jon, himself an active runner, wrote: “I am delighted to accept this offer. I have enjoyed taking part in previous events associated with the World Harmony Run as I believe it plays an important part in spreading international goodwill.”
As ACT Patron, the Chief Minister will host a Civic Reception for the international running team at the ACT Legislative Assembly in Canberra on Wednesday 14 May.
Runners’ footnote: Jon was the inspiration behind and designed the course for the famous ACT mountain race, the “Brindabella Classic.”
