wheelchair users, runners and participants of all

prizes for the best costume. All runners received
a goody bag and there are some great prizes for those

mildly undulating and very scenic run around Stanley

part that counts.

charity donation we managed to secure a number of
prizes from many generous businesses in the local area.
These will be given to those runners raising the most
sponsorship money. Please see the 'INCENTIVES' section section
