Virtual Mob Match (Sep 2014)

Running in Faith a Virtual mob match

Well this was the first ever national inter church ‘mob match’, so if you took part, that’s a little bit of history you were making!

In total there were 162 runners, across 27 parkruns running for 15 Christian running groups/churches – a massive turn out, nearly 50% bigger again than our biggest ever physical mob match.
