Part of the fun included a series of street races. After the children's races and before the senior’s Egg & Spoon Race I took part in the men’s 18-50 year-old 60m* sprint – and finished second!

In addition to the running races the special community celebration day had a number of events going on including a fancy dress competition with a royal theme, a cake contest, an interesting exhibition of old photos of the High Town area, High Tea and a concert in the High Town Methodist Church Hall.
The running race was the second ‘track athletics’ pursuit I’ve undertaken in 2012. Back in March a bunch of us took part in the first-ever Ripping Yarns Hopathon at Hampstead Heath Athletics Track in London!

* It was more or less 60 metres I think

The bronze medallist took a bit of a tumble as he approached the finishing line (made from a Union Flag paper chain). It was quite a heated little race!
