The poem but might be a little shorter this week
As the run report writer had to work
No,he doesn`t work on that 999 with Michael Buerk
The hot news is that Travis and his assistants counted 20 dogs which must be a record
Especially since records began
According to cyclist Peter Sagan
Nearly 700 of you travelled twice around the course
And yes there was no sign of a horse
Hello and welcome to this week`s run report. A great attendance of 693 this morning,thanks very much to you all for coming along. A big thanks to all our volunteers especially well for filling the roster and being brilliant as always.
