MORE than 1,000 dedicated fundraisers completed a record-breaking OX5 Run yesterday, helping the event smash the £1m barrier.
Blenheim Palace was awash with colourful fancy dress and charitable spirit as runners, walkers and joggers completed the five-mile run in what looks certain to be a record year.
With £115,000 pledged in donations before the race began and more expected to come, last year’s fundraising record of £126,000 looks set to be beaten.
Children’s hospital charity CEO Douglas Graham also confirmed that yesterday’s efforts mean more than £1m has now raised by the event since its inception in 2003.
