When I arrived at Race HQ, everything was set up and the runners and their families and friends were beginning to arrive . .

. . race number and timing chip collection was working well . .

Inside the Forest Centre there was plenty of room to pin your number on . . and at the back of the Centre the staff were preparing for the post-race barbeque . .

. . Sports Timing Solutions were putting the finishing touches to the Finish Line . .

. . and there was still plenty of time to warm up and prepare for the 5k race . .
