News – Lichfield Santa Run
Dec 19th
SANTAS STORM STOWE FIELD IN FESTIVE FUN
Scores of Santas turned Stowe Field Lichfield into Lapland last Sunday morning (18th Dec) as the Festive season arrived with a bang. Many Santas of all ages, as well as dogs dressed as Santa’s little helpers and pushchairs turned into mini sleighs made the scene on Stowe Field a magical sight. Kevin Wilson of KP Events was pleased with the turn out:
“We had snow last year which was fantastic but it was cold this year with a sleety shower early on; so it felt like Christmas at least and the atmosphere was brilliant. A real Father Christmas made a welcome appearance to keep the crowds happy and the festive warm up by the staff at sponsors Lichfield Health and Fitness Club was a great start to the event too.”
Photos of the event can be viewed here and purchased from us for £3.50 each, payments via paypal, simply email payments@kpevents.net with the image reference number you want to purchase, name and telephone – and we’ll make the original available for you.

CLAMP TRIUMPHS IN THE KINGSBURY MUD
Tipton Harriers veteran athlete Phil Clamp won the second running of the KP CORPORATE KINGSBURY WATER PARK 10K on Sunday Nov 27th in windy but fine conditions on a course that had plenty of muddy paths and wetland areas to make it a testing event for all 300 + who entered.
Clamp, an expert runner in the cross country genre started strongly and gradually eased his way to the front early on and left the others to do the chasing in the vain hope of catching him, but his time of 33:21 was testament to his abilities in tough conditions. First woman home was Ute Baird of Team Raidlight in 43:07.

Event – KP Corporate Kingsbury Water Park 10K – 27th Nov 2011
Oct 16th
KP Events is holding its second 10k off road race at Kingsbury Water Park – a beautiful venue belonging to Warwickshire County Council situated in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside between Tamworth and Sutton Coldfield. The 10k is a two lap off-road race following a route that is mainly off road through magnificent scenery.
Two laps of footpaths, grass tracks and a short tarmac section twisting around the lakes and pools of the water park, with a section alongside the river.
Runners will no doubt remember the monsoon that descended last year and made this traffic-free course waterlogged, but participants loved it – we had so much positive feedback from you guys, obviously loving the mud, the puddles, the bogs, and the lovely birdlife of the Park to boot. This year we’re a month later so will it be wet again???? We won’t be betting against it!!
This event starts 2 months, 0 days, 19 hours, 13 minutes, 21 seconds ago

This joint event with Cancer Research WEST MIDLANDS was a new event designed to appeal to men in a similar vein to the very successful RACE FOR LIFE womens’ events.
Participants dressed as a Superhero of their choice and had to take on some interesting challenges around the specially designed 9k route of Sutton Park, including wetting stations, cargo nets, steep inclines, woody trails and then run through foam at the finish line.
Well done to all the the runners, fund raisers and everyone else who helped to organise this successful fun run. Over 200 Batmen, Spidermen, Buzz Lightyears, Invincibles, Wonder Women and others braved the windy conditions to raise thousands of pounds for such a good cause.

News – City Centre Athletics 28th Aug Cancelled
Aug 15th
The City Centre Athletics Event due to take place in Lichfield on Sunday August 28th has unfortunately had to be cancelled.
Kevin Wilson of organisers KP Events explains the reasons behind the decision:
It was always going to be difficult to stage this first event of its kind in the city at a time of year when other events were taking place and so many people were on holiday, so we were finding it difficult to stage, also personal circumstances were a key factor in making the decision to cancel, hopefully in 2012 we’ll be able to find a suitable slot to launch the event again.
