It was the first race of the truncated Lakeside 5k series.

We were tasked with a little bit of table lifting and shifting; number allocations; important instructions about emergency contact details; finish funnelling and (most importantly) coffee drinking!

There were a few busy moments of numbers being collected and alphabet skills being tested but everyone who came to run ended up with a number on their vest and at the start line on time.

A beautifully warm summer evening for us, a bit too hot for the runners. Fortunately no need for the bucket at the end!
