This race took place tonight Thur.20th. To describe it as a race is pushing things despite it being a very worthy cause etc. it has become what is best described as a FUN RUN and should be run and advertised as such. There were kids as young as 7 running (I asked a little girl her age). there were a lot of people with buggies and there was even someone running with a dog not to mention the amount of people wearing headphones. The stewarding etc was excellent ,food etc but there were at least 50 people who did not bother to come over the start line. I hate to be critical as the BHAA are wonderful people and do great work and deserve all the support they get but someone is going to get hurt before long if this continues,
Now after that we did very well here and many of out athletes got prizes
