Well, what a great night we had again last night. With a healthy number of sign ups already, we were delighted to see a good queue of people keenly signing up on the night too, giving us a healthy 126 runners on the night.
As usual, there were some amazing helmets on show, I’m glad I’m not involved in having to choose the winner!
Jan from Westbury run group took the prize with her circus ten(t) creation. Quite how she kept it on all round the course I really don’t know.
Fist male finisher was Gary Day of Avon Valley Runners, for his second hilly win. First Lady was Emma Surridge of Frome Running Club.
Now I’ve finally got straightened out and put all the Hilly Helmet kit away, I’m thinking of all those who have helped make it possible.
There far too many people to name in person, so I won’t try, then I won’t miss anyone out.
Suffice to say, event partners, volunteers, participants, our event location and refreshments, these are just the obvious people without whom none of this could happen.
I’m really proud of and grateful to everyone that has played even just a small part in the success we have enjoyed for the charity Brain Tumour Support over the last 10 years and delighted not only at the amount of money we have raised but also the vibe you have all brought to the event. It’s clear from the smiles in all the photos that you’ve enjoyed the event as much as I have.
Many thanks to all who pre ordered t shirts. We’ve had some further enquiries, so if you’d like one, please get in touch and we can look to place another order.
If you ran but didn’t get a memento, please let me know as I seem to have more left than expected.
