Ellie aged 10 said ‘she would love to go again, but would like to get a bit more ‘hands on’.

When we asked them to rate their experience out of 5 they said four and three quarters, this means we need to round it up to a 5!5 out of 5 prams

About the baby races

Organised in partnership with the pre and post-natal fitness experts, Buggyfit, these are a series of 8K events for you to run or power walk with your baby in their buggy. The routes all follow paths perfect for buggies in beautiful parks. There’s an aerobic warm up to start, children’s entertainment and a bumper goody bag when you cross the finish line. You don’t even need a baby or a buggy to take part, the whole family can join in, whether walking or running and older children can cycle or scoot.
Entry is £14.50 per adult and includes a free t-shirt. We ask that you try and raise £50 in sponsorship using the online fundraising page created when you register.

Every penny you raise will go towards Tommy’s research and information programmes, which aim to prevent premature birth, stillbirth and miscarriage. For more information and to sign up please visit http://www.tommys.org/babyrace.
