“Shall we run in the rain dear”

A wonderful morning that promised to prove that skin is waterproof...

There was to be no horsing around though as this was a serious matter....

6 GoodGym members put on their best smiles, donned a horse costume, made into a Reindeer by clever positioning of antlers (once all tags were removed) and galloped around the race course for a glorious photoshoot in the rain.

Raceways, who support the charity Kids Run Free who provide free running events for children across the UK and abroad needed some up to date photos to promote their Reindeer Race in November - it was due to be the Grand National Run but due to Covid has been cleverly adapted and moved to later in the year.

Santa Claus appeared to still be on his summer vacation though and members of the public, including a few dogs found the scene to be rather amusing.

But in Grand(stand) style the GoodGym group took it all in their stride....

As we were already on the course of Warwick Park Run it would have been rude not to add in a little jog around the route, although costumes were removed for this part.

Thanks to everyone for being such good sports and putting up with the rain.
