We held our second club overseas trip of the year out to Tallinn in Estonia, this meant the trip completed the Baltic Way trio of half marathons with the previous trips to Vilnius (Lithuania) and Riga (Latvia)

We had 13 travelling, and it did not start well with our booking mostly being Thursday to Tuesday with Wizz Air, but they managed to not inform us they changed the outbound flight to the Tuesday, resulting many having to cancel the trip or arrange different flights that involved transfers across Europe
Anyway the flights for many became difficult due to issues with trains, resulting in missed flights, flight delays, resulting in missed connections, but we all arrived eventually.
First up a number of us travelled to Helsinki for the Tokoinranta parkrun, only to discover this was cancelled late on the Friday, so a few of us did the route anyway, before catching the ferry to Tallinn
On the Saturday in Tallinn Sheila and Phil took part in the 10K.
The Sunday we had 10 running in the half marathon from the Viru Gates around the city and out to the coast. Well organised race and some great Redway Runners performances – well done all
