Woodbridge 10K
The 38th annual 10k road race around Woodbridge took place on Sunday the 19th May.
The sun shone after a little rain which meant the weather conditions for running were slightly better than previous years! Huge crowds created an amazing atmosphere to cheer the runners on.
Congratulations to Aaron for beating David ….again! Great rivalry exists between the two of them when most are just happy to finish.
Well done to everyone, but we have to say Bill (769) came an impressive 100th in a time of 53:05mins which was the fastest time in our whole team!

We support the Rainbow Fun Run
We are always happy to help local causes when possible & so when The Friends of St. Mary’s School Woodbridge organised a ‘Rainbow FunRun’, we donated £250 to raise money for a new library.

Congratulations to them.
