A bright and sunny morning greeted runners of all ages and abilities as they warmed up to compete at the Newchurch Primary School’s fun run.
Parents and grandparents, children and grandchildren, all lined up to help raise money for a new school minibus. The brainchild of the schools PE teacher Adam Tuck, the event is designed to be accessible to all. Entrants could choose either 9k, 4.5k or 900m in distance to earn their bespoke bamboo bling at the finishline.
Plenty of roadrunners gave up their Sunday mornings to support the event, and were duly rewarded. Bill Goozee dashed the undulating course to secure the pole position out front with Simon Randall coming in 2nd.
Hayley Baxter continued her recent return to form coming in first lady across the line in the longest distance. Charlotte Williams was the first lady home in the 4.5km race.
“It was a great course” said Jane Andrew “it was great to see so many children out enjoying running too”
Sounds like it was great fun all round. Well done gang for supporting another local event and another local cause.
