We filled Lewis Cubitt Square with runners from eleven primary schools in Camden and nearby Islington and Westminster for our third King's Cross run. It was our biggest event to date!
The schools did a brilliant job rallying their communities and sent their runners by the hundreds.
Thank you to all the supporters, marshals, first aiders, the fantastic sports coaches from Pancras Square Leisure and dancers from Dance Blaze London.
The whole community turned up to run on a sunny Sunday morning.
Young runners from all walks of life, and abilities took their place at the start line raring to go. The buzz and excitement were off the charts!
It was not about being the fastest but being the best they could be and finishing the 2km course.
Congratulations to the 1,200 children, teachers and parents who challenged themselves to a run around the estate.
You all did brilliantly!

With the support of our generous sponsors, Kings Cross, Google , The Standard Hotel, The Langham Estate, GPE and M7 Real Estate, each participating school received up to £5,000 to improve the education experience of their pupils.
And the schools added another £22,000 through their own fundraising initiatives.
All funds raised will be invested to improve educational resources, enrichment activities, and to create a nurturing environment for their students.
This event would not have been possible without the sponsorship and support of our generous partners.
