17 toucaneers today at a very wet park , thanks to each and every one of you especially our volunteers who make it happen , the mystery wristband went to Richard Pearson who then passed it onto Evie bramford (you made her day ta). It was nice to see people enjoying ? themselves , running to get their mojo back or running to get fit , just for once the seniors outnumbered the juniors. We havnt decided the next dates for the next toucan yet.

53 at Toucan run today on what turned out be a very nice day to run.
We managed to juggle setting up with the footballers who train there and the running with the cricketers who were trying to get there screens out.
A very well done to all who ran today , nice to see some other star wars fans , some new runners and some new grandparents adding to the scores for there athletes in the “most runniest parents competition” for the juniors.
A big congrats to Holly doran who got the mystery wristband and was probably the smilyist runner i saw today.
Thanks as always to our volunteers who helped to run it and to those who have donated today.
As usual I left the field with a smile and the cricketers already had their boundary marked out.
See you on the 18th May for the next one ?
