GET MOVING Win a race place and more You cannot have failed to notice the award-winning Ealing Half Marathon, which takes place on the last Sunday of September. What better way to Get Moving than by getting involved in this year’s? You can win a race place and a bundle of goodies in our competition, Claire Parker reports. L ast year 7,000 runners took on the event’s 13.1-mile route around Ealing, starting and finishing in Lammas Park. One of those runners was Christina Kenny, from Acton, who won a competition for a race place through Around Ealing’s sister website EalingNewsExtra.co.uk Christina, 32, said: “Winning last year’s competition was a bit of a shock but turned out to be a great opportunity. Despite never thinking of myself as a sporty person, I’ve actually ended up becoming one by mistake.” She loved her experience and has never looked back. She now runs regularly – including to and from work twice a week – and has entered the half marathon again this year. You could join her.
