Sunday 22nd July 2012 saw a record 249 runners (dubbed Muscle Warriors), strap on their trainers, rustle up sponsorship and generate awareness for Muscle Dreams, once in a lifetime experiences for children with the muscle wasting disease Muscular Dystrophy. The sun shone for the first time in weeks as Muscle Warriors predominantly from around Hertfordshire with some travelling from as far afield as London, competed in The Muscle Help Foundation's 3rd annual Muscle Warriors 10K & 5K RUN across Haileybury's glorious grounds in Hertford Heath raising nearly £20,000 for Muscle Dreams. The event included a 1K Wheelchair Race through the schools stunning quad and a 1K Torchbearer & Fancy Dress Toddle to help celebrate the one week countdown to the London 2012 Olympics. Away from the running, Essex-based activity group Ruggerbugs, the UK's premier award winning sports development programme based around non-contact rugby for pre-school children was on hand to stage a mini Quintoddlathon style Olympics event for the assembled toddlers with certificates and stickers being handed out to over 50 children from across the counties of Hertfordshire and Essex. Events ranged from running, jumping and throwing, with enthusiastic parents joining in with the fun.
