It was a glorious sunny morning and Hannah, Lukas and May went to city centre to cheer for the girls who were running the Bristol 10K to raise money for a new water boiler in BISC.
The race started at 9.30am and Kathrin, Franziska, Katherine and Tamela were already making good progress around the course by the time we arrived at 10.15am. According to the Bristol Evening Post, this year’s Bristol 10k, now in its second year attracts almost 8,000 people. There were a good number of people already gathered along the centre to cheer on the 8,000 runners, many of whom who were already near to the finishing line.
It was great to see so many people, all different shapes, sizes, ages and abilities joining in the event, all trying their best and pushing through the pain barrier in some cases, to reach the finishing line! It was so exciting to see our girls passing us and having the opportunity to cheer them on!!! They were easily identifiable by red t-shirts that were specially printed for the event. Well done, Kathrin, Franziska, Katherine and Tamela –you all deserve your medals!! All of the girls successfully finished the 10k and we are very proud of their achievements, individual and collectively!! All the hard work and training paid off as they tried hard to reach their limits.
Afterwards, we had a small celebration back at BISC with a big chocolate cake and some sparking grape juice. If you come to Cream tea this afternoon you can enjoy a piece of the cake to celebrate together, as there is still a little bit left, or just come and enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee with water from our new water boiler. Remember that if you have sponsored one of our runners, they will be keen to collect your sponsorship money from you soon. Thanks to all who have sponsored and thanks again to Kathrin, Franziska, Katherine and Tamela for running on behalf of BISC. :)
