Fairy Run - Saturday 21 December 2024
Wings, wands and the wonder - just a few of the ingredients that make up the Annual Biggleswade AC Fairy Run. Some have seen the mist, others have missed the scene! But to be a part of this amazing event will make you wonder why you didn’t join Biggleswade Athletic Club years ago and strap some fairy wings to your back for the day.
Please note this run is a closed event and only open to members of Biggleswade AC.
Typically run on the last Saturday before Christmas, this year’s run will take place on Saturday 21 December 2024 meeting at The Lodge car park within the Sandy RSPB.
Raced as a handicap run, fairy athletes flap, skip, fly and sometimes buzz round a 2 ½ mile route to be the fastest fairy back.
So get yourself a Fairy name, an outfit (must be Fairy related) and start counting down the sleeps until the best race of the year!
