Spring is near, but that doesn't mean we are past the cold weather. Our #parkrun started nice today, but it soon got windy and chilly!

We saw lots of happy parkrunners this morning, some regulars, some relatively new, and some returning for their first parkrun in a while.

Congratulations (and a huge thank you) to Therese and Carol who both reached the 50v milestone this weekend. They have each volunteered in multiple roles, and are an important part of our group of volunteers.

See you at a parkrun soon!

Morgan returned as our fearless Run Director after maternity leave and the birth of twin girls. It was chilly and windy. We thought there may have been cause for cancellation, but it wasn't too bad. We forged ahead and enjoyed a fun morning.

Join us tomorrow morning for Osborn MetroPark parkrun 127. Morgan is our Run Director. Most volunteer roles are filled, though we are still in need of a Photographer and someone to provide First Timers Welcome.

Please arrive before 835am. See you tomorrow morning.

It’s Wednesday and that means 3 more sleeps until #parkrun #127

Come on out on February 1 and welcome back Morgan as our run director.

We do have a full team of volunteers, but check out our roster and consider volunteering for future dates.

After checking the course we decided to go ahead with #parkrun this Saturday. We emphasized watching for a few icy spots. It was also a very chilly morning, but that did not stop 11 parkrunners for braving the cold.
