We couldn't have asked for better weather for a race called Run for Ice Cream, it was an absolute scorcher of a day.
What everyone achieved today is nothing short of amazing, well done to each and every one of you.
It was great meeting so many of you for the first time and also seeing so many regular faces, some we haven't seen for a while, its is so nice to catch up with all of you.
We had such an lovely day with you all, it brings us so much joy to witness so many of you completing your first 5ks, 10ks, first Half Marathons & First marathons and a couple of first Ultras too, so many of you achieving new PB's and a few course records taken today too.
One of the highlights of our events is the social side where we get to chat with you at the end and hear some of the incredible journeys that you are all on.
Another shout out today was to Mr B's Whippys who served you all with amazing ice creams. They were super delicious and just what we all needed on a warm sunny day.
Today's Event Route: Route B, a 5.3k undulating trail run with absolutely amazing views across the Forestry England grounds through Thetford and the Country Park at Brandon
Marshals and Support: We are so lucky to have the best marshals in the world. Once again we would like to extend our gratitude to all the brilliant marshals who ensured a smooth and fun experience for everyone. Their commitment to making the events enjoyable for all participants is remarkable. Considering the weather they were truly amazing and we had so many great comments about how they really made the day special.
