Well done to Ronald LYNES who broke the Age Category Record again for VM75-79 with a another cracking run in 30:08. Congratulations Ronald.
So a short report next week and I'll leave you with a reminder that next week is our second birthday!! The theme is BALLOONS so if you could all bring a balloon (or more than one?? They might help up the final hill!) and we'd like to see a spectacle of brightly coloured runners and balloons! Just don't forget to dispose of it correctly and make sure no balloons are released as they can be damaging to the environment.
And of course - don't forget to bring cake!!
Unfortunately I won't be here for the festivities so I wish you all a fantastic second birthday run and thank you for all your support and wonderful memories over the last 12 months - it's been even more fabulous than the first year! I'm really excited to see what the next 12 months bring. Enjoy yourselves (and save me a cake?!)- Andie (ED)
