The start of the four mile race

Easter Monday saw Coverack’s second ever Easter Fun Run. The weather was kind and there was a good turn out for both the 1 mile and the 4 mile routes. Coverack Space 2000, a community group that runs events and activities in the village, organised the event.
Almost 40 took part in the 4 mile route which covered uneven terrain - and this year quite a bit of mud! Children could run the 4 mile route as long as they were accompanied by an adult.

Many youngsters took up the challenge and a special mention needs to go to Reggie Langton, at the age of 7, who finished in the top 10 of the 4 mile route. This was an incredible achievement for someone so young. All those who ran did a fantastic job as this is a difficult route and their fundraising has been really appreciated.
Running a mile is a big challenge in itself and almost 30 took part in the one mile route. All the children did a fantastic job running the mile route –we really appreciate those supportive parents who ran with them!

We have planned the routes so that both start from Coverack School and finish St Peter’s Hall. As the finish line for both events is in the village it meant that many supporters could come and watch and encourage and then enjoy the refreshments served in the hall.
All money raised is to be shared between Coverack Space 2000 and the RNLI, with the help of businesses such as Tesco’s who kindly donated the refreshments the event has proved to be a good fundraiser. Many thanks to everyone who helped, including over 40 marshals and those supplying refreshments in St Peter’s Hall afterwards.
