A fabulous bunch of GG Yorkies helped local running club Knavesmire Harriers put on their 40th anniversary Brass Monkey half marathon. This is their flagship event and has become one of the most popular races in the North of England, with places selling out within minutes!

Some of our crew helped out at Race HQ, some were at the start/finish and others out marshaling on the course. We were grateful for the sunshine and no rain or risk of ice. Several other GG Yorkies ran the event and were cheered on enthusiastically by their fellow GG pals with some fantastic running and some shiny new PBs.

The race organisers have asked me to pass on their huge thanks to everyone who helped today - especially as they were missing a couple of marshals. I hope you all managed to get your t-shirts, buffs and chocolate!
