Gruesome Twosome Half Marathon

Sat, Oct 12th 2019 at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Grimsby Rotary Club provided marshals to support the half marathon


Location Rothwell

Eight Rotarians met at the Swallow Inn and loaded up tables, water containers, drinking cups, high vis vests, hats and a bag of sustenance and headed off to erect a water station for the runners at Rothwell.  1500 runners were offered cups of water. Some even stopped for a brief chat and many thanked the support team for their efforts.  The weather was brilliant and we were bathed in sunshine the whole morning.

Swallow

Afterwards, Tape2Tape ran a festival-like event at Swallow village for the runners of the two races which ran in contra-flow.

Charitable Donation

Tape2Tape sent a further amount of £100 to the Treasurer for our benevolent fund. They have given us £700 in total this year for the three events that we supported.
