One of the organisers, Phillipa Knight, said: “It brings the whole community together. We have 40 local marshalls and without them we couldn’t run this race. The support of the local people who have come to take part and to watch is fantastic. “We have lots of people from Cricklade taking part. The purpose of the event is to raise money for local charities, specifically the leisure centre, which has been a charity for the past five years. We also support local charities Jenner Hall and Lights for Learning. This year we are also supporting Heart UK.”
