Level of event: Local
Type of event:
Training, Juniors
What a turnout! Over 40 runners took part in the JOG event at Broomfield Hill on Saturday. There were new faces and regulars and the atmosphere was vibrant. The sunshine brought out the glorious autumn colours and Angela’s courses made the very best of the area, providing a great run out for everyone.
Thank you to Angela and Steve for planning and controlling and to Karen and Ollie for organizing along with Boris who did sterling work on download and packing up.
Thanks also to just about everyone who was involved in control collecting and in searching for the missing keys!
