MORE than 80 pupils from Christow Primary School took part in a sponsored Colour Run earlier this month.
Organised by the school council and led by teacher Mrs Hill, pupils ran more than a thousand laps of the 400 metre circuit between them - around 250 collective miles.
Collectively, pupils raised more than £750 in sponsorship which was split between the school and two charities Shelterbox and the Literacy Shed that members of the school council had chosen.
