10 runners ran to Sydenham this evening to deliver the light of Winter Wonderland to the Masses.

This evenings task involved a bit of map reading, using the local knowledge of Micky, and some very good eyes among the group before we even did our warm-up, luckily we were able to use the function room to remain warm..., we split into leafleting groups with the more intense runners taking areas a little further away... Rucksacks were handed out, displaying all the events Becky has taken part in over the years. She seems to love a good Cambridge Half... Health and safety and Dog warnings were given out, Becky has experienced a dog come through a front door on a previous leafleting task in Norfolk...

After a lovely warm up in the Fat Pug's lovely function room - cheers to The Fat Pug for keeping us warm.. We managed to leave the warmth and do a few high knees and fast feet before a gentle run, one of our longest runs this week....

Once at the lovely garage which was to be our regroup place, we ventured off into our own little areas ans discovered that we could easily get lost among the crescents within crescents. Mummy Becky ensuring we all had phones in each group in case a dog should get someone...

Who know leafleting could be so much fun, everyone had a little effort session sprinting from door to door with a recovery stop trying to get the leaflet through the doors. We also covered a fair area Sydenham and our lovely map is nearly all coloured in.

We changed it up on the run back to base and went to have a look at Leamington's Christmas lights, a nice distraction from the slight hill on the parade.

We finished off with a lovely stretch in the warmth of the function room...

Massive thanks to those that stayed after to check over which areas still need to be leafleted to...

And if you missed last night or want to join in the fun without the run, come and join us in Tesco on Thursday 21st November from 6pm to share out more Christmas love for Fareshare...
