- Social run along the new section of A14 at
Haughley/Stowmarket
On 6th August 2008, Stowmarket Striders with Birse Civils
Limited hosted a an opportunity to run the new
section of the A14 at Haughley (nr Stowmarket) before the road
opened for traffic in September. Being the friendly and open club we
invited other local clubs and joggers/runners to join us in this
social fun run. There were no prizes for the fastest run or
recording of times / position - this was simply for social get
together principally to enjoy running a new dual carriage way before
it was opened up to traffic.
In holding this event, the club, together with the contractors (Birse
Civils Ltd) involved with building the new road raised over
£400
that was equally split between the 'East Anglian Air Ambulance'
service and 'The Monday Club', a local based charity for people with
severe learning difficulties.
The
club would like to thank all those runners who took part and who
made generous contributed
