Junior Senior Relay - 6th January 2012

There was a great turnout of 33 for this years race, we had 30 runners and 3 Marshals.
It is always a worryas the day of the J/S Relay dawns. Will there be any kids? Will there be enough adults?
This year I was pre-warned, Olly is bringing 4 , Jason is bringing 3. I had also had a couple of questioning emails.
I was worried about shortage of seniors so sent out another email.

By 10:50 at Flottterstone I was more worried about sorting out the teeams as 30 runners turned up.
Surounded by eager participants I stared sorting teams out, Michael Wilkinson took over with the adult list as I sorted the Juniors and soon we had 6 teams each with 3 adults (or so I thought).
We headed to the hillocks and soon all the teams were off up the hill.
Some juniors were carried, some were dragged, some were leading, some seniors were being dragged by other seniors. But everyone was having fun.
There were two whole families running, The Stephenson's and The Huberts, also all the Wilkinsons were there with four running and Mum marshalling.
We even had a Boggie family, the Jarvis boys, obviously there to pot hunt as the juniors were in the winning team. When I asked Joe what they had chosen as a team name he said "We weren't asked".
The age range of runners was 2 to 70, and the weather (though a little chilly) was kind to us.
All the kids ran in smiling and waited for their Seniors to arrive while guzzling juice and hulahoops.
Then it was back to the car park to add up the times, many thanks to Chris McLeod for her arithmerical talents, especially after the effort she had put in on the run.

Even more thanks to Moira Frances and Nick for marshalling.
