Earlier this week I attended a fantastic event which saw around 600 children from schools across Bedford Borough take part in a once in a lifetime opportunity to run alongside world class Kenyan athletes and a number of inspirational local sportspeople. The children were from schools who had taken part in the Bedford Borough Schools Marathon Club, which comprised a series of runs over a ten week period organised by the Council's Sports Development Team. The one-mile run around Bedford Park on Monday represented the culmination of the 'schools' marathon.' The Kenyan athletes, Philip Langat and Shadrack Kosgei, had taken part in the London Marathon on the previous day, yet despite that and despite having a plane to catch in the evening, they were on great form all day, taking part in run after run with the youngsters and making sure that it would be an occasion for them all to remember for years to come.
Commenting ahead of the debate on the Finance Bill, Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Treasury Committee, Stephen Williams said:
Bedford Borough Council's road clearance crews have removed an astonishing 545 bags of rubbish from roadside verges in just two months.
Young people from lower, middle, upper and special schools from across the borough flocked to Bedford Park, on Monday 23rd April, to take part in a once in a lifetime opportunity - to run alongside world class Kenyan athletes, Philip Langat and Shadrack Kosgei. The athletes were making a fleeting visit to the U.K in order to take part in the 2012 Virgin London Marathon.
