On Sunday June 9th, once again, the village of Belcarra saw a welcome influx of visitors. Unlike recent weeks, where crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of our rare yellow crowned night-heron, this time the excitement centred around our much-anticipated 8k Run, back for the first time since 2019.
It might have been a damp day, but it certainly didn’t dampen the spirits of everyone who turned up to participate and support the day!
The Kids Run kicked off at 11:00 following a warmup with F23 Fitness (and some guest helpers!). Over 50 kids took part in the Kids Run and it’s fair to say they all did themselves proud!
The 8K Run kicked off at 11:00 with 89 participants putting in some great performances on the course.
A big congratulations both to our prize winners but also everyone who took part!
Any profits from the race go to the Belcarra Community Council in the development of our Recreational Park.
