00:00 And they're away! The Hannah's out! 5k and the AEPG Great Eastern Run is away!
00:08 All the runners leaving and pouring away down Bishop's Row.
00:12 Hello, my name's Carol Hughes. I'm from the Alice Hope charity and the founder of Alice Hope.
00:17 Marvellous. And what does this mean, what does today mean for you and your charity?
00:22 It means a fantastic amount to be out in the community, bringing the community together
00:27 and bringing the whole region together and getting our awareness out.
00:30 I'm very passionate about the whole race and to have so many people running in the Alice Hope 5k is fantastic.
00:35 We had people running in the half marathon as well, but there's the most amount of numbers in this race today
00:41 and to get it back up to code and build the numbers up again is absolutely fantastic.
00:45 And for me, seeing smiles on everybody's faces, it says it all.
00:48 And they're not only just running for charity, they're running for their personal best.
00:52 Or they might be putting their energy into doing something good for others as well.
00:56 Marvellous. I've seen a few people with the wings on their backs today, that must give you...
01:00 Yeah, that's our ferry team. And there's loads of people running for Alice Hope.
01:04 So there's some people who've come as ferries, you can see we're all over the race, which is great.
01:08 Yeah, it's just an awesome day. It's a late day. The actual day is a late day.
01:13 Hi there, my name's Ozzy. I'm from Blackstones Football Club, New College Stamford IEG group.
01:20 Why have you decided to run with a goal on your back?
01:23 Well, we did decide to carry a goal, like all the little guys here from Blackstones.
01:27 It might be easier if I just run as a goal.
01:32 It sort of spirals from there, really.
01:34 And how difficult was it?
01:36 Not too bad. I set myself a goal. Yeah!
01:40 No, it was alright. K5K, running lots of sport, keeping the crew together, it's been a nice day.
01:44 Raced a lot of money for Alice Hope. It's been a great day.
01:48 Marvellous. And what was the support like out there?
01:50 Fantastic. Lots of people out, cheering, shouting.
01:54 You know, it's difficult when you shout for a goal, "Hello goal!"
01:56 It's a bit difficult, really. But yeah, good fun. Nice race.
02:00 Fantastic. So, who have you come dressed as?
02:03 I'm Gandalf.
02:05 And I'm just a zombie.
02:07 Zombie cheerleader.
02:09 I'm raising some money today for Macmillan.
02:13 One of my customers is permanently ill.
02:15 And he asked me to do it for Gandalf, so I thought I'd do it for him.
02:19 Fantastic. And how did you find the course?
02:21 It was pretty good.
02:23 Madden didn't want to run most of it, but we made it.
02:27 We're here now. Help me.
02:29 We ran the last bit, but then I had to drive them with a goldfish.
02:35 of the sand.
