Fen and Harry took on the challenge of the 20 mile Ullswater Way route around the whole lake, with Harry completing it in less than 4 ½ hours! Jasper and Amy ran the 10 mile route together taking in Aira Force and Gowbarrow Fell; certainly no mean feat. The hot weather meant the students ran in testing conditions, so they very much enjoyed their post-run dip in the lake to cool off. As a team they have raised £470 for their chosen charities, Cancer Research and Stonewall. If you haven’t yet donated and would like to, please visit their fundraising page via the link below… https://www.justgiving.com/team/ullswater2021?fbclid=IwAR056HecrK9a9AFruQx8FYQv4IPwIWCYN35nhIRK2ppiE1SvWNvmh4UgQUY This was the first event the students have competed in and all agreed it was a great experience, particularly the fantastic atmosphere at the finish. The KGS tribe even stayed to offer their support and clap home the very last runners. Well done to you all, you should be extremely proud of your achievements. Epic Events host various run/swim events throughout the year and are always on the lookout for volunteer marshalls which would be great for anyone working towards the volunteering section of their Duke of Edinburgh Award. Fen has volunteered several times now and really enjoys it and is now in training to swim the length of Ullswater (7 ½ miles) in July. **Tags:** [charity](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/charity) [2020-2021](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2020-2021) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2021-06-08-introducing-our-1st-xv-captains-for-2021-22-season) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2021-06-17-introducing-our-1st-xi-hockey-captains-for-2021-22-season) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
