Dulcie May Moreno reporting for Street Athletics 2008 in Hackney!!
WOW! What a blindingly sunny day, the heat has been INTENSE!! Some really skilled athletes here today, muscles of steel and stamina off this planet. It was held Outside the New Testament Church, the street was closed off and two white lines were drawn for the start and finish, the DJ played Rnb in the middle of the downs park Road, and there were signs and banners everywhere. There was a wide variation of age groups, and many races took place one after the other, the kids lined up with Linford and Darren to compete against each other. Despite the fact they were competing, there was a great sense of community within the competitors and parents, It was the taking part and the coming together as a community that really mattered to all of them. Of course, the winners were overjoyed. Dog Tags and T shirts for all who took part. Overall, a successful day to be had by all.

Nice one to Robert- who took some pics and even did a short interview for us as we were one man down! He also won his race and is off to Manchester! Well done mate!
