A bumper year for the Mortimer 10k and Fun Run!

This year we had the best entry in recent years so congratulations to all those who finished: 

10K 399 finishers
Juniors 171 finishers
Walkers 62 finishers

Full results can be found at www.readingroadrunners.org

The runs and walk were organised by Reading Roadrunners and we think this was at least the 27th year of the event, first organised by the Seward family. The Roadrunner raised about £2,500 for BRINOS, the Britain Nepal Otology Service, a charity dedicated to the prevention and treatment of deafness in Nepal.  Details at www.brinos.org.uk

We also had Whittles Fun Fair and a variety of charity stalls and refreshments. Local groups and charities (including 1st Mortimer BP Scouts, Daisy’s Dream, the Ollie Young Foundation, Creating Better Futures and Burghfield and Sulhampstead Scouts) raised over £1,350 for their own funds).

Finally a big thank you to Sarah Morland who has coordinated the village effort required to support Roadrunners in putting on the Fun Run for a number of years and is now handing over to a new team! 

We don't yet have any photos from the event, so if you have any that we can publish on the website please send them to mortimerVW@yahoo.co.uk
