HPN run Richmond Riverside, Saturday 17th October

It was a fine Saturday morning for our runners to do their 10k run along Richmond riverside. We strapped on our timing chips and got off the busy and crowded start with mud flicking up from under us. All our runners completed the 10k, and with some fancy times. HPN want to give a big thank you to all those who sponsored our runners and supported HPN.

It's not too late if you would still like to sponsor us retrospectively - click on donate.
