To celebrate Milton Keynes 50th birthday, on the Bank Holiday Monday 2 January Redway Runners organised a run that took in 50 Milton Keynes Icons
130 runners took part with the help of four photographers, Ellie, Laura, Martin and Tim together with a tail biker Sue to make it all possible.
During the run 50 Icons run we also did the Mannequin Challenge, Tim has produced this rather fab video – it is fantastic – hope you enjoy.
