Plymouth Schools Half Marathon Challenge 2019
On Sunday, Ben completed the Plymouth Schools Half Marathon challenge for the second year running. He had to run 12 miles during school over the past few months and then run his final mile at the actual Half Marathon race on the Hoe. Kelly, Aaron and Coby tried to watch him (I couldn’t as I was taking part in the Half Marathon this year) and just managed to see him start but were unable to see him again as the route they ran changed from last year and none of the parents or teachers knew what the new route was! They were quite unhappy as they all went to where they thought they would be running only to find they weren’t and were already going through the finish line! Anyway, he did the 1 mile route and got his medal and he was very happy about it. He had already got his t-shirt beforehand but he was glad to get his medal and goodybag which included some nice jelly, apparently! haha
