Another blue sky morning at the Fields, with 31 juniors taking on the 2km challenge (along with a few of their coaches...), including 5 first timers who were made to feel very welcome by the crowd.

Sooz, as today's Run Director enthusiastically led the warm up with a mix of knee lifts, star jumps and stretches, and then it was time to gather at the start line. Nick, on timekeeping duty counted down to go, and they were off up to the first turning point and onto the course.

Just over 8 minutes (!) later, the leaders were sprinting down the finishing straight, and it was great to see everyone cheering and high fiving all the runners as they headed to the finish funnel - 3 PBs today, which was a great effort in the sunshine.

Initially we thought we'd "mislaid" a few of the finish tokens when we did the usual post race sort out, but eventually from various directions, runners (or adults) sheepishly appeared with one or more tokens in hand, and it seems we have a full set ready again for more fun next week.
