'Go Run for Fun!'...

When the organised fun run around the lake at Fairlop Waters was cancelled because of the heat, it didn't stop Fairlop Children from running.
The event was transferred to the school field in a cooler part of the day. 

149 children from years 1 - 6 took part, all dressed in bright pink T-shirts, sponsored by INEOS.  Many of the children completed 4 laps of the field. This distance is equivalent to a mile! 
Parents cheered them on and music played as they completed their laps. 

Read some of the comments made by parents and children:
