Long Wittenham 5k Fun Run & Walk 2009

The Second Annual Long Wittenham Fun Run & Walk around Paradise Woods took place on July 5th 2009. Click here for our Press Release.

Many thanks to everyone for turning up and taking part - and for keeping going through the huge downpour that effected all but the fastest of the runners. Luckily the sun came out again and everyone was able to stay and enjoy the lovely pub gardens of the Plough (thanks Mel & Sandra) and the barbecue and WI tea and cakes.

We were completely taken aback by the number of entries (over 150). Next year we will encourage more to enter before the day to save the queues. Thank you all for your patience whilst we delayed the start by 15 minutes to get everyone registered.

A huge thank you to all the marshals, first aiders, and other helpers who gave up so much of their time with a smile. It wouldn't have happened without you!

And thanks again to Northmoor Trust and College Farm for allowing us access to their grounds, without their permission we would not have such a beautiful route.

Comments are welcomed - also any photos you'd like to share on the website.

Hope to see you all next year!
