The Town & Gown 10k is a very popular race in the Oxford calendar. It usually seems to herald a hot and sunny sunday, but today we had grey skys and quite a chilly wind.
A quartet of Goodgymers were part of the team looking after the bag drop tent. With a record 7,000 runners at the event it was quite the undertaking.
We managed to keep things in order, not break our ankles hopping between the rows of bags, AND reunited all bags to their rightful owners at the end of the race. We were awarded with cups of tea and a very cute certificate.
Well done to Fred for his 10k PB. Lovely to see Muireann too!!
