Barns Green Marathon - Sunday 1st November 2009
It was hard to believe just how terrible the weather was on the day of the Barns Green Half Marathon. In spite of this 1359 runners turned up to run in what can only be described as Monsoon Conditions or as one of our runners put it ….. Sunday morning/early afternoon was a small anti-oasis of hell in an otherwise lovely spell of great weather…….. Thank you to the four GRACE runners, Chris Sturdy, Paul Cooper, Jess Hoggarth, all from Barns Green and to Richard Coles - who seems to have been sponsored by the entire village of Forest Green. Between them they have raised over £2,700. Many thanks to Annie Jennings for choosing GRACE as the 2010 race charity and to her friends and family for all their help on the day and to husband Vernon and the Barns Green Race Committee for their very generous donation.
