Nice to see you again, Peter. When do you start setting up? It's tomorrow, Friday or Saturday? Today. We've started setting up today. We've been marking out our event village. We are well known for our big event village, which is an all-day celebration of food, fun, fitness, family. It's for everybody. All the F-words that we can say. Exactly. So we have our biggest event village yet.

It's incredible that just the number of people parts of the community that want to be at this event. From the charities, to all of our partners and sponsors, to local businesses that want to be here. All kinds of fantastic, interesting people that want to be in the Event Village. We've got very good numbers this year, Pete. Let's say we've got already 4,000 signed up.

You'd hardly believe that there are as many homeless people in Reigate and around that there are, but it's true, there are.

When we say bad... There's rain predicted for the weekend. We've had rain before. We've been very lucky in 11 years of doing Run Roygate. Really most years we've had lovely weather. This year it's looking like rain, but Pete, you never know. This might blow over by Sunday. The forecasters have often been wrong. And people should be obviously prepared for that.

Yeah, absolutely. And there are a lot of people running for charity, Peter. Lucy Rayner Foundation, at last count, had over 70 runners in those fabulous red t-shirts that say Running Off Depression. You know, the work that they do in our community, particularly amongst young people with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts, is just fantastic.
