After what felt like an eternity.....it was finally time for group runs again! And what a way to kick it off...by running to one of our favourite charities aaaaaaaaaaand having a record turnout!!!
27 RUNNERS!!!!!!!
what an amazing group of people!!! So many people wanting to come out and help in their community, do some exercise and meeting new people!
Because of the number we decided** to split the group into two and give runners a pace option. The slightly slower group went a more direct route and was led and backmarked by Daryl and Caprice and they did an amazing job!!!
The other group when a slightly longer route and had Neil and Mark holding things together like pros!
We all got their in one piece only to find that Alex hadn't arrives yet.....so we decided to run around the block and give him a bit more time.
We had a quick briefing outside to save time and when Alex arrived we burst through the doors and got straight to work as we only had 15-20 minutes left to sort through donations....
Needless to say with 27 amazing humans we got through much more in less time than we usually do!! Good thing new years resolutions brought so many of you along tonight!
After the blitz we didn't have a lot of time to get back so a few brave and powerful runners....Chris, Neil and Laura shot off to make sure they could get back and get our bags out....and they did!!! Legends!!!
Well done all of you for coming and helping out, doing something different and getting out of your comfort zone. Please come back and hang out with us again!
