Running

By Nathan Birdsall

2017 has arrived! And here at The Fix UK we returned in style with our first Run Richmond event of the year, Run Richmond Park 1 2017. A clear, crisp January morning provided the setting for a swift set up before sunrise, and as the sun rose and the ice thawed the runners arrived in their hundreds – every one of them stretched and motivated to beat their personal bests!

Setting off at 10am sharp our runners braved the early morning chill and frosty paths to take part in our monthly event held in the beautiful setting of Richmond Park. Making their way down Sawyers Hill on our 5k loop, our runners enjoyed the sites of wild deer roaming free as well as the lights of the city of London the trees of this wonderful Royal Park.

After some solid pace setting and some ‘never give up’ attitudes all of our lovely competitors received a medal and a high five from our race-day team, before re-fueling at our water station and getting some much needed sugar into their systems! All in all a super successful event and we hope to see you at the next one on the 28thJanuary!
