Thank you to everybody who attended the final Clapham Common 5k ‘Get Running’ race of 2009. We had great weather and it was so nice to see so many runners and supporters on the day.

1st Male - Bjorn Alexander
1st Female - Barbara Wenman
2nd Male - Nick Phelps
2nd Female - Christine Bertram

Well done guys! Also we would like to mention some of our loyal runners, Patrick McDougall for coming in 4th place, his wife Sam and daughter, 13 year old Izzy, who came in at an incredible 28mins 40secs, well done guys! David Whitlam, ran a time of sub 20mins. Ed Mills who has had some time away from training but still ran on the day. We had some very young runners one of whom was 8 year old Theo, running his 2nd Innovation Sports 5k, coming in at an outstanding time of 23mins 10secs, great running Theo! We also had our youngest participant to-date in tiny Anushka Selvon-Bruce. Pushing her along the course was mum, Nathalie. Their time was around the 35 minute mark and Anushka even managed a nap on the 2nd lap! J Last, but certainly not least is a mention for Bob. For those of you who don’t know, Bob Parsons attends all of the Innovation Sports races, be it 5k or 10k and always completes the course and all at the grand age of 78. Well done Bob and well done everyone for making the events a success and we hope to see as many of you as possible next year.

For those of you, who would still like to keep the running going, why not try our 10k on either Sunday 6th September or Sunday 25th October. It has been a real pleasure for us to see so many new faces this year and we hope to see many more in 2010.
All the best and as always, happy running from…
