Dereham Junior Runners held their first multi-event morning at Neatherd High School on August 2. The aim was to get the juniors used to competing at different events in their own age categories.

The weather was very characteristic of the conditions they need to get used to when they compete at events by luring them into a false sense of security by starting dry and then raining as hard as it could for the last hour of the competition.
