The children involved were rewarded for their efforts with a medal, banana and treats in race bags.

Rub-A-Dub deputy manager Maggie Raybould said the charity run pre-school hopes to have raised £380 from the event after sponsorship money and donations from the day are counted up.

She said: “As our first fun run it went really well, and we are looking to make it annual event and perhaps develop it into a triathlon."

The run was organised by the preschool and event organisers Events Logic UK, which donated £100 towards to fundraising total.

One of the organisers Steve Fream from Events Logic said: “It was a great afternoon and the children had a fantastic time.

“We got involved as one of the team here, Claire Deeble, has a daughter who goes to the pre-school and helped organise the run.”

Ms Rayvault said the pre-school is now busy thinking about the next event which will be something for parents to enjoy.
