*The Martian Race *

What a difference a year makes. This time last year it was the hottest day of the year ☀ This morning it was no was no where near in actual fact the running conditions were fantastic. The atmosphere in the event village was amazing and seeing so many faces from other local running groups was great 😀. Kirsty & Lauren who had signed up fir the 5k but who are unfortunately carrying injuries along with Adam who signed up for the 10k and is currently injured decided to walk the 5k route. 👍🏾.

Wayne, Abi, James, & Anne were all doing the 10k.

It was great seeing other local running groups that we know. As well as representing GG James & Abi were also running for Woking AC. Before the main race we cheered and encouraged the mini runners who were doing a 2k Kirsty especially was very vocal in her encouragement 🤣 by the time shes watched the England game ill be surprised if she has not lost her voice. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

9:30 The main race began after a quick warm up we were off. The first 1k was on an open field with an incline and then it was straight into the common 🌴 There were plenty of spectators out on the course as well as the marshals who were supporting the runners around.

Rich who is a good friend of the Woking GG team came in 1st overall in the 5k. Fantistic result and he donated his prize money back to the charity, what a guy 👍🏾.

Abi finished first followed by James then Wayne and then Anne all were very happy with their times especially Anne coming first in her age group 🎉

After a well deserved drink and some photos we said our goodbyes and headed home.

It was a fantastic morning 😀.
