After Adoption raised £15,000 with its first self-branded 10K run, which took place
in Hyde Park, London last Sunday.

 

The event, which was held at the end of National Adoption Week 2009, saw 500 runners
complete the route, with British Olympic triathlete Will Clarke taking first place
in the men’s race and Meriel Holden winning the women’s race.
