Kids' Marathon Challenge

What a fabulous afternoon at the kids marathon challenge, 13 kids on each team (boys v girls) running a 300m lap. Each team completed 68 laps in total. Thanks to Paula Pinney who organised it to raise money for Children in Need!

Paula added, "I would like to say a huge thank you to everybody that made today possible, The Obelisk Centre for letting us use your venue, Sarah and your daughter (sorry I am rubbish with names) for your help, support and donations. 

 

The fab face painting girls Rachel and Sam. Dave for supporting the runners on the final leg of each lap. A huge well done to all of the kids who took part you are all superstars. 

 

The final time for the full marathon was 3 hours 30. It was a close run race between the lads and the girls, with the girls being the final victors by about 10 meters on the final lap. After the race all of the kids enjoyed donuts and the final few had a water fight that went down well. 

 

On the day we raised £174 after I paid for the bouncy castle (the only cost) We still have sponsor money to come so I will post what the final figure is in a couple of weeks when I can announce the winner of the bowling tickets for 6 people. 

 

Once again thank you, it was great to see so many kids enjoying themselves. We are planning to hold the event again next year. If you could not make it but would like to make a donation you can at www.virginmoneygiving.com/paulapinney."
