Saturday 12th March - a cracking day greeted 30 teams of 3 participants keen to tackle the first ever Active Farmers Games @Coleambally!
The course consisted of 20 obstacles ranging from tyre stacking, tyre flipping, hay wall climbs, syphon starting, wheelbarrow races and the crowd favourite mud pit. The look on the faces of everyone who finished was absolutely priceless, covered in mud from head to toe their smiles were from ear to ear.
Then the magic….. 70 odd kids were chomping at the bit to have a go after watching their parents have a blast. The kids completed half the course and had an absolute ball. It was incredible to watch them have such a great time and get active. Then to top off the day, we had a kids and adults gumboot throwing competition, not to mention great music, food, free skin checks with MSCAN, sponsored by our major sponsor Corteva.
“it was amazing to showcase my patch and welcome many travelling teams to my hometown, in particular seeing 6 Active Farmers trainers bring their teams was awesome.” commented Joe Briggs, local Coleambally famers, Active Farmer participant and Active Farmers Board Member.
These type of days don’t just happen. Active Farmers would like to thank our Games committee, obstacle build sub-committee, volunteers, service providers and sponsors for making this day possible.
