What a spectacular event which brings the running community of Surrey together each year with an opportunity to run a half marathon, 5k or vounteer, including a kids race.

The morning started rather fresh but the sun burst through the clouds to brighten up the day for the runners and the many supporters along the route.

Woking GoodGym were out in force with Anne deserving a gold medal for all the medals she handed out to the finishers. It is always a joy to see Anne as you cross the finish line. James ran with Woking AC and smashed a finishing time of 1:36:51.

Adam managed to crack the sub 2hrs that many runners aspire to with a finish time of 1:57:22.

Melanie did a great job cheering all the way around and finishing in 2:09:25 closely followed by

Rebecca at 2:11:10. A big thank you to Maya for cheering us along for the final push with 1.5k to go. Another thank you to the spectators, especially all the funny signs, the scouts for operating the water/fuel stations and the Woking litter picking warriors who make the most of the closed road event to help clean up the community.

A wonderful day all round. Same again next year?!
