Peter, it's a combination of this fantastic community that we have. Everybody comes out, everybody kind of looks after each other. We are blessed, of course, with this park, Peter. We are spoilt. Priory Park in Reigate is spectacular. We have this iconic priory building that we're looking at right now for our start and finish line. Local, pretty country roads in and around Reigate to run on.

That we close, so it's all very safe. All the schools get involved. We have 1,200 kids running again on Sunday. It is sold out yet again. And they come from over 60 local schools. And all of those schools support us as well. We do lots of school assemblies, we talk to all the kids and we get involved. So it's not just the charities, it's the schools.

Almost every shop, restaurant and bar in Roygate is now involved in our Medal Madness campaign. And that is where you can go in with your medal, usually for a couple of weeks after the event and get a good deal from that shop. So it's just wonderful. Sweaty Betty are doing 30% off. Bills this year have come on with a free burger if you go in with your medal.

Wagamama are giving you a free side portion of food. Some of the bars are giving you a 50% off or a free drink. The coffee shops are giving free coffees. Most of the shops in town are involved in this now. It's great because that supports our local traders. It means that they want to talk about this event because they get the footfall from it.

And our runners are getting these wonderful deals that they wouldn't get, all for just going in with their medal. Fitness was one of the F's that you mentioned a little bit earlier on. Peter, I make no apologies for getting anybody and everybody, but particularly kids, into regular aerobic exercise because it's so important physically and mentally for everybody.

Burning those calories, keeping your brain ticking over, helping you sleep. helping you just perform better and think better, it's got so many pluses. So I love actively getting everybody involved in this event because I know it's good for them. It's not just on the day, it's all the training that they do for it. It's a good thing.

I've always wanted to put Priory School, this lovely building that everybody knows, I've always wanted to put it on the medal. And it's a real feature of the medal this year. It's our Run Rygate Blue, but it's really featuring the school on the medal. And of course, our wonderful headline sponsors, Andrews. And I've just got to say a big thank you to them because... This is their third year.
