and the new Impington 1k Fun Run for Under 7s on courses
starting from Histon & Impington Recreation Ground
Both runs were started by Steve Fallon
manager of Histon Football Club taking time out from
preparations for Histon FCs play off game with Torquay.
The Impington 1k was a great success with
nearly fifty under sevens completing the 1000 metre
course around Histon and Impington Recreation Ground.
