Good Friday – 18th April 2025

David Woollard head to the Big smoke on Good Friday to start his Easter celebrations.

Organised by Run Through Events (the same team that run the Goodwood Series), four lapped events were on offer from 5K to half marathon.

Each lap takes runners around the flat paths of Victoria Park in London with the 5K – two laps, the 10K – four laps and the half marathon 6.5 laps 🙌

Here’s david’s 🏎️ account of his Hot Cross Bun day morning:

Mental strength really tested today running on tired legs and after only running a hard half marathon route last Sunday.

Today it was another early alarm wake up call and to get up to London to run 6.75 laps around Victoria Park. It was nice to do a different race. Found today hard but knuckled down and kept going regardless. I didn’t quite make my aim today but wasn’t far off a sub 1:25.

Gun/ Chip Time: 1hr 25m 38s

Position: 24th out of 571 runners

Age Category: 4th

🎤 That’s an impressive run David despite those tired legs.  Well done 👏🏻 on a cracking time and like you say, it’s always nice to try something a little different ⭐️
