Another fantastic addition to our parkrun route. Can’t see many other parkruns displaying a Van Gogh by their finish line ?

Next week is the Easter Hols , we really hope to put on an event however filling a volunteer rota around school hols is always tricky. If you haven’t thrown on a hi viz for a while , we would really appreciate your help. 🤞

Well it felt like winter made a return to the park today 🥶 That was a cold start wasn’t it , a few of our volunteers came dressed for Spring and regretted it 🤣 But the added wind kept them on their toes at least , chasing the signs , cones and token buckets 😬

A drizzly start , but thankfully it soon cleared up. Looking at those legs in the finish funnel , the mud was def still present. We are hoping for a few dry weeks now , which will hopefully help the course.
