๐โค๏ธ BALDOCK RAT RUN 2026โฆ WE DID IT!! โค๏ธ๐
Over 112 registrations, a brilliant turnout of runners and families, and what turned into the most wonderful day. ๐ฅน
Even a few short, sharp showers couldnโt dampen the atmosphere, if anything, they just added to it! ๐ ๐
We had a warm-up led by a personal trainer with a broken legโฆ and a RAT ๐๐คฃ, every single runner absolutely smashed it, the live music was genuinely top notch, and the atmosphere throughout the morning was just incredible.
Today reminded me exactly why events like this matter.
It wasnโt simply a 5K.
It was families, friends, runners, volunteers, musicians, local businesses and members of our community all coming together, having a laugh, supporting one another and raising money for a very special cause, Garden House Hospice Care ๐
There are SO many people I want to thank properly, and I totally will.
But after an extended singing performance at Hatfield House last night followed by todayโs Rat Runโฆ I am officially DONE. ๐ด
So tonight, I just want to say:
THANK YOU.
To everybody who ran, walked, volunteered, performed, supported, donated, helped, cheered, brought their families along or simply turned up and became part of it, you made today what it was.
I genuinely couldnโt have asked for a better return for the Rat Run ๐๐๐
๐ Race results are currently available via the registration page.
Tomorrow, once I have slept ๐, Iโll be posting:
โจ Full thank-yous to our amazing supporters and volunteers
๐๏ธ Raffle winners + prize collection information
๐ธ Photos and updates from the day
๐ More from our runners and families
โค๏ธ And most importantlyโฆ the final amount raised for Garden House Hospice Care
