Firstly a very big thank you to everyone who took part in our first ever fun run event which has raised over £1,500 for the school, including sponsorship from The Window Film Company https://www.windowfilm.co.uk 

We had over 100 competitors from as young as 9 years old and some seniors in both the 5k and 10k events. It’s a fantastic response particularly given the time of year and that we weren’t able to hold a physical event as originally planned.

Our top fundraiser was William Scott in year 7 who also won the 10k Male Student event for year 7. Very well done and thank you!

Congratulations to everyone who took part and we are delighted to announce the winners, including a few really exceptional times in some of the categories:

We will be in touch via the registration emails to arrange for delivery of the adult prizes (when current travel restrictions permit) and the student winners, including the top fund raiser will receive Amazon vouchers via the registration email this weekend, plus a “Jump the Dinner Queue” pass valid for a week upon return to school, for the winner and 1 friend. 

We decided not to award prizes for fancy dress this time, but thank you to everyone who sent photos, whether or not you had your usual running clothes on, we really enjoyed seeing photos of you on your run! If you haven’t already, please do share them on social media with #CGSFunRun.

Whether you walked, jogged or ran, whether it was your first event, you achieved a personal best or simply completed your event, we’re so happy you joined in, thank you!

Best wishes
