ORGANISERS of the Ealing Half Marathon have confirmed Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School as the winner of the 2019 Schools Challenge.
The Holland Park school was presented with a cheque for £250 to recognise their efforts and achievement.
It entered a team to raise funds for the Vaughan Foundation, the school’s charitable arm and funds will allow pupils to compete in extra-curricular sport.
Cardinal Vaughan’s team comprised teachers, parents and pupils. It was the first half-marathon for the majority, who trained together weekly.
The Schools Challenge encourages schools in the area to enter their own teams in the half-marathon.
Race director Sandra Courtney said: “They put in an incredible effort to train and fund-raise for the event and have been rewarded with a fantastic cheque which they can put towards a variety of projects.”
The 2020 Ealing Half Marathon takes place on Sunday, September 27 and entries are available, costing £38 to £50. The sooner you sign up, the more you save.
