Ethan Hodgson reached his 100th run milestone yesterday, only the eighth youngster to achieve this landmark in the 11 years of our event 🎉 We hope he liked his certificate and wristband. There were milestones also for Nathaniel Pask (50 runs) and siblings Olive & Maia Bartlett (11 runs) 👏👏

We were amazed and very grateful to welcome 80 participants, including 14 first timers today. This was our second largest field since Covid ended (remember that!).
It was a bumper week for milestones - well done to Teddy, Cici, Sonny, IIyah & Primrose for collecting their half marathon wristbands.

We were unable to use our normal 2 lap course this week so we were down on the prom, but I have to say that given the weather, it was a fantastic place for our young participants to be, as we welcomed 45 of them, including 9 first timers.
Well done Archie on your 200 run milestone 👏

63 runners participated this morning, including 13 first timers, probably due to the Easter bunny who delivered some eggcellent treats.
We were pleased to welcome so many newcomers; today was our 3rd biggest event since the end of Covid.
Our volunteer team also eggcelled themselves today 👏🙌

We had 52 fantastic young runners through the finish funnel and a few more that did one lap. It was brilliant to that see six of those were first-timers - a huge welcome to you all! We hope you loved your first parkrun adventure and will be back for more.

We decided to head back onto our two lap course having been exiled below on the prom for the last few weeks due to all the standing water and mud up top. We were joined by a magnificent 55 runners, which is a great number for this time of year and takes our weekly average to 30 year to date.

42 young participants shared a very foggy Sunday morning with us; well done to Tom, who was awarded his Ultra Marathon wristband for reaching 50 runs. Yesterday was officially the first day of Spring, so I'm hoping we'll be back up on our normal two lapper course very soon.

On a busy morning, we launched 26 young athletes into the throng of early morning runners well and truly into marathon training season. Well done to our crack volunteer team who marshalled them superbly through all the fartleks, strides & tempo sessions going on around them!
