On Sunday 5th September, the Guardian girls took part in the Adidas Women’s 5k Challenge in Hyde Park to raise money for The Willow Foundation.

Challenge in Hyde Park to raise money for The Willow Foundation. The event attracts 15,000 runners each year with some of the world’s top female athletes in attendance - Jessica Ennis was there to fly the flag and start the race. We all finished with good times and were very pleased to beat some personal bests! Although not quite that of Paula Radcliffe at 14 minutes 51!! A big thank you to everyone that sponsored us and the all the race side support!

It’s not too late to sponsor us and help the Willow Foundation – just visit http://www.justgiving.com/5ontherun
