Well whilst the weather deterred some, we still had a hardy group of runners out completing our naked run. I would like to start by thanking our GREAT volunteers who gave up their time to make tonight’s event happen so please join me in thanking them for their efforts!!  The results are in and it’s a big well done to Paula Newton who took the gold medal ? who was only an impressive 6 seconds slower than her predicted time. She was closely followed by Becky Stout who finished second? and was 9 seconds faster than her time. Third place ? went to Kristian Allen who was an impressive 11 seconds slower than his predicted time.  The top 3 females were :  Paula Newton - 6 seconds  Becky Stout -…

Good morning, Don’t forget there are no official sessions tonight . It’s our ‘naked run’.  Can those who have kindly volunteered please get there for around 6.15pm!  The route will be revealed tonight along with instructions, please please familiarise yourself with the route. It’s very straight forward and there will be marshals in key points however it is up to yourself as well to make sure you’re going the right way.  It will work like the Parkrun - you’ll get a finish position, you’ll then make your way over to one of our volunteers . Let them know your finish position and then we can put the correct time next to your name ? Whilst I won’t reveal the distance I can tell you it’s longer than 5km but shorter…
