We want to say a massive thank you and well done to all of our volunteers from Sundays event. Without our fantastic volunteers our event would not have been possible. They stayed in place from 8:30am until 3:30pm (in the pouring rain at times) to keep our athletes safe while cheering them on and encouraging all the way. Here are a few photos that were captured of them throughout the day. Thank you all.
