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.
“We have 425 sign ups this year” he says “way more than we ever envisaged in 2015 when we started”
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. With Laura Holme coming 1st and Lizzie Pilcher 3rd in the 4.5k race, Simon Pilcher 3rd in the men’s 9k race and Holly Newton and Jodie Wilmott 1st and 2nd respectively in the ladies 9k.
Sounds like it was great fun all round. Well done gang for supporting another local event and another local cause.
