Great Capital Run

Last Sunday I lined up – along with my wife, my teenage children, and a couple of friends – ready to take part in the Great Capital Run. None of the others had ever done anything like this before. We were helping to raise money for Capital Radio’s Help A London Child appeal. The weather was fine, the crowd enthusiastic and the event well organised. I managed an uneventful time of 52 minutes – not great, but not bad considering the large number of runners (12,000) trying to negotiate the fairly narrow roads and paths around Hyde Park. A very worthwhile event, and a good day out.
