MickandPhil were invited to lead their home race off to celebrate their 6 years of racing together

and they were given a few minutes' start, to help avoid the risk of an accident as the faster runners overtook them

so as MickandPhil disappeared into the distance . . the masses waited impatiently as the clock ticked towards 9.30

after a short loop of the town centre, MickandPhil lead the way into the Warwickshire countryside

followed by (amongst others) Rach E (and Gobi's heels) . . Cinderella Rockafella . . Silvershadow
