It was a major dilemma for football fans.
Participate or watch representatives of 78 charities and schools in the Maccabi GB Community Fun Run in glorious weather, or stay at home for the afternoon's match between England and Panama?
Although the timings of the majority of the 10k, 5k and 1k events allowed those living in within reasonable proximity of the Allianz Park, Hendon venue to do both, organisers took no chances and organised a live screening of the England game.
The thousands of runners and spectators also enjoyed a family fun zone, health and well-being hub and a food court.
