Imagine winning a huge talent show and then waking up at 8:00 AM to run through the mud with hundreds of strangers. That is exactly what Sydnie Christmas did this past weekend at the Stevenage parkrun. She did not ask for a VIP area or a red carpet. Instead, she put on her running shoes to chase a new goal just like everyone else. Guess who accompanied her? Harry, Sydnie’s boyfriend.
She crossed the finish line with a new personal best time of 27:47. This run takes place at Fairlands Valley Park, where people do two big loops around a lake and through the woods. It was a very cold and messy morning, but she stayed focused. She proved that she is just a normal person who loves a good challenge.
Stevenage ParkRun
People who saw her were very surprised to find a star running right next to them. One local runner, Beth, said she thought she spotted her but could not believe it at first. Another fan asked if there is anything that she cannot do well. Everyone loved seeing her acting so humble and happy in her local town.
Running a 5K is hard work, but she does not do these things alone. She often trains with her partner, Harry Woods, to keep herself moving. They are a great team, and they like to push each other to be better. This bond is even clearer when they step away from the park and head home to have fun.
Couples Challange
In their latest video together, they try a “couple challenge”. Sydnie and Harry both sit and try to eat without using their hands. Both of them struggle to eat the jiggly dessert, which makes it so fun to watch! It shows that their bond is so strong, they can do ANYTHING together.
