Fun run gets off to a flying start

Chair of FRGS, RUTH CURTIS, reports on RGS's inaugural 3K Family Fun Run

THIS was a superb evening, with children and parents running together in our very first 3K fun run held in the school grounds. After a lively warm up to music, Director of Sport Mr Milner led the first lap on his bike to demonstrate the route used for school’s cross country. We welcomed some primary-aged runners and a number from Ripon Runners, so all ages were represented. However, it was our very own Year 7 Angus Millar who recorded the fastest time of the evening, breaking through the finishing tape with a time of 12.24 mins. Some fabulous race times were achieved, which will stand as records to try and be broken next year. After refreshments, organised by FRGS, Mr Webb presented medals to first place winners across the different age categories, with the exception of his own medal which was presented by Mr Milner!
