Athletes train in wellies!
Torrington Athletic Club members swapped their running shoes for wellington boots this week to raise funds for the Children’s Hospice South West in Fremington, Devon.The hospice is running a fund raising Wear Your Wellies Day on Friday this week, where staff and supporters are being encouraged to pay £1 each to wear their wellies to work or school.
To show their support athletic club members donned their club vests and decorated wellies for a one mile training run around the streets of Torrington, and awarded prizes for the best decorated wellies.
In addition, seven members of the club will raise funds for the children’s hospice by taking part in the Champion for Children’s Run later this month.
