I've chosen this date because a) It's the first weekend of half term and they often struggle for volunteers then b) It's the day the clocks go back so 8:40 will feel more like 9:40!

Meet by the cafe at Old Heath Rec by 8:40 to get high vis and to be allocated positions and then after a quick warm up the 4-14 year olds will set off on their 2 km run around the park at 9 am.

It's always a really satisfying task as the juniors are so appreciative of any encouragement we give them.

With just a short run it's often done by 9:20, so plenty of time for a drink in the Go4 Cafe on the Rec.


How are you getting there?
