600 Running Children
Most ran, others skipped or walked to complete the 2k course. Together they travelled a collective 1,200km around Highbury Fields.
We hope this experience encourages them to take on running as a regular sport. It will not only keep them fit and healthy, but it will also develop their confidence, concentration, focus and help their mental wellbeing.
