Higgy's Heroes Rock Stroud Event: STROUD HALF MARATHON Date: SUNDAY 25th OCTOBER Stroud Half Marathon '09 - Higgy's Heroes Rocked! On Sunday 25th October, Higgy's Heroes rocked in Stroud! With the biggest team of Higgy's Heroes yet, over 130 runners waited anxiously on the start line for the 2009 Stroud Half Marathon. The weather was a mixed bag, the day started off with lovely sunshine, albeit rather windy which made putting up the Higgy's Heroes tents rather interesting. The showers came later making it a tough race for those runners who were on the course for a long time. By 9.30am, the majority of the team were ready for a Higgy's Heroes team shot, our thanks to Sarah Standing from the Stroud New and Journal for such a great photo! At 10.00am the race started and it was a fantastic sight to see so many Higgy's Heroes in their green and white t-shirts running over the start line. Hopes were high that one of the Higgy's Heroes team would finish in the top 20 runners and we were not disappointed with Eddie O'Gorman finishing 14th in a stunning time of 01:17:11 well done Eddie! Special thanks to Sara Povey, an Osteopath and Sports Injury Practioner from Stroud who did a fantastic job in getting a team of physios together ready to provide a much needed post-race massage to our runners. Thank you to everyone who volunteered on the day, from our cheerers to the tea-makers, we couldn't have managed without you, thank you so much for your support. We hope to raise at least £20,000 from the Stroud Half Marathon and we would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who ran for Higgy.
