  • Oldford Fun Run & Health Event 2011

    9th Aug 2011

    The Oldford Fun Run & Health Event took place on Saturday 6th August in Powis Castle park.

    Thirty one people took part in the 1km and 3km routes, there were people of all ages and abilities who all lined up on the start line to warm up with Mr Hearty, the British Heart Foundation mascot. Mr Hearty started the run and welcomed back all the runners!

    Everyone who took part enjoyed a free picnic with the Oldford Active Communtiy Group. The Fire service brought two excersise bikes for people to test their fitness on and Pont Hafren promoted their Food Co-op. After the picnic Steve Rowlands of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service and Mr Hearty presented the runners with a medal and a certificate. Everyone took home a free goody bag and gave some really positive feedback!

    We were disapointed not to see more people taking part but are delighted that those who took part enjoyed the day and we would like to congratulate all the runners on their acheivement.

    We would also like to thank all of our volunteers and stall holders who came along on the day to help out, without these people the event could not happen! Thank you also to Powis Estates and the National Trust for letting us use their land for the event.
