Kudos to all the runners on this beautiful but bitter morning. Whether you did the full 2 laps or took advantage of our lovely one-lap funnel, I always remind you: you are many, many steps ahead of everyone who was still in bed. Great work!

Seeing 47 young athletes this morning, supported by our amazing volunteer team, got me thinking that one of the best things about junior parkrun is that it’s always there for you and your children – same place, same time, every weekend. Come and join us!

Unfortunately, the poor conditions were enough to deter the majority and we had a field of just seventeen this morning
As always, our volunteers did us proud, and we welcomed Patrick to our ranks for his first event

There were 47 children today, including six first timers on a lovely fresh morning after all the (apparently!) overnight rain; did cooler conditions result in 10 PB's?
