This morning the children ran, walked, skipped and bounded around the track at Monkton as Bede Burn’s effort to take part in the race for life!

The sun stayed out and all of the children had a brilliant time, we definitely have some future Olympians in our midst, with many older children completing ten laps!

Many thanks to all of the parents, carers and grandparents who came along and joined in, and to all of the little brothers and sisters who also ran or toddled!

It was a great morning and everyone had fun.  I even managed ten laps as part of my Great North Run Training!

Huge thanks to Mrs Kiely for organising the event and well done all of Bede Burn!

Some photographs of the event can be seen here.
