On Sunday 9th May 2021, team Essington Harriers took part in the 2021 Wings For Life World Run app race.
Tara, Sarah and Robin took on the WFL challenge racing against a virtual catcher car, and managed to get in a decent 15km before being caught. On one of the hottest days for running so far this year so it was tough going, and a technical glitch put Robin out of the race at 9km (and I’m not angry about that at all!)
