A mini marathon that saw pupils complete a 2.6-mile route around their village has been declared a success.
Kedington Primary Academy held their twice-yearly event on Friday with around 180 pupils taking part.
The route saw them run, walk and jog around a route including the village’s nature reserve, along the River Stour and the bandstand.
PE lead Alex Proffitt said: “The school mini marathon is always a fun and active event that brings everyone together and we would like to congratulate all the pupils who took part and showed such impressive determination on the day.”
Head of school Hayley Ahlquist added: “It would not have been possible without the support of all our school staff and the team of volunteers who acted as marshals along the route. We would like to say a huge thank you to them all.”
The event was held as part of a national campaign run in partnership with the TCS London Marathon to get more children active.
