00:05 Hello.

00:06 [Music]

00:09 I'm good.

00:10 [Music]

00:27 Good morning. Could you introduce yourselves, please?

00:30 Hi, I'm Neil Apshaw. I'm the Race Director for the Glossoport Half.

00:33 My name's Jo and I'm the Secretary for the Glossoport Half.

00:37 My name's Martin Pepper. I'm the Mayor of the Borough of Glossoport.

00:40 And tell us a little bit more about what's happening here today.

00:42 So today we've put on the Glossoport Half Marathon.

00:46 It is the 39th time we've done it.

00:49 It is for about 2,000 runners to run 13.1 miles.

00:54 Yeah.

00:55 We also put on two children's events.

00:57 So we've got one from young children up until 12 and then from 12 up until 16.

01:04 Excellent. And if you can, tell us a little bit more about what this means to the local community,

01:08 particularly getting children involved in sport.

01:11 There are so many positives about this kind of event.

01:14 Number one, if you look around here today, you will see thousands of young people,

01:19 thousands of not quite so young people, some very fit people, some not quite so fit people,

01:24 some supporters, some organisers, and they're all working together to produce a fantastic event.

01:29 It also has the added benefit of advertising Glossoport, seeing all the best things of the borough,

01:36 including the fantastic weather, by the way, which is great.

01:39 Organisers have done really well.

01:41 And if we can encourage more and more people and we keep this as an annual event,

01:47 as we said, it's been going for a few years now,

01:50 and I'm really pleased to be here to support it and to encourage more people to get involved.

01:55 Well, we're about to set the kids off. So thank you very much for your time.

01:58 And I hope it all goes well today. Thank you.

02:00 Thanks very much.
