Christmas Fun Run 2022


It was touch and go to see if we were going to make it after lots of organising and practice runs.  We managed to hold off until Wednesday to make a decision after a final test run of the route and after taking two of the checkpoints out we were good to go.  Looking back we got the call right and even though we had some attendees drop out we still had healthy numbers to run or walk the route.  The night had arrived and the first groups registered at 5:30 ready to step off.  We had Nicky Price from BBC Gloucestershire carrying out interviews with the groups and boy was it cold, temperatures had dropped to -4 but this didn’t stop the fun.  All the groups had made an effort with the festive appearance and really got into the spirit of Christmas.  A big thanks to all the runners who took part, Gloucester Sports for supporting the event and NHS Gloucestershire for donating the prizes for the event, but last but least our own Santa Pause “Ashley” from the team at Gloucester Sports.  We wish everyone a Happy Christmas and all the best for an Active 2023.
