The proceeds from 2013 – 2015 have enabled us to partially refurbish the school library. We have purchased sofas, enhanced the range of non-fiction books on offer and the library has been re-painted to make it a more welcoming area. In 2016 the monies raised for the school went towards rejuvenating the school swimming pool.
The race brings the community of runners to the school, raises money and promotes sport.
The running family is full of some great people and we would like to extend a very warm welcome to as many of you as possible in 2025.
