Running
By Nathan Birdsall
We returned to Richmond Park on the 27th January for our regular Run Richmond Park event, this race being the second in our 2018 series.
The morning was nice and clear with the sun doing its best to shine through the dark clouds. Our set up was smooth and our runners began arriving around 8.30am, picking up their race number and timing chips from our registration gazebos, had a good chat with our superstar marshals regarding the route and then began to get stretched off and limbered up.
We began the 5k race at 10am with the 10k runners setting off 10 minutes later in a couple of separate waves to avoid congestion. There were some fantastic times achieved and all results have now gone live so you can check out your individual finishing times. We had some big groups of friends and families to cheer on our runners as they came into the finish line and it was great to have so many cheerleaders creating a fantastic buzz around the hub space.
Much haribo was enjoyed by all at the water station and we’d like to say well done to everyone taking part - you are the reason we do this and it’s brilliant to see you achieving great times and matching those goals you’ve set for yourselves!
We look forward to seeing you at Richmond Park next month!
