Happy Volunteers' Week my @parkrunUK family 💙

I had some lovely chats while parkwalking at @NFparkrun this morning. It's such a valuable role, and it would be great to see it included on future rosters as it's definitely needed. 🙏🏾

1,000 parkruns. 415 volunteer credits. One incredible achievement. 👏

Massive congratulations to Darren Wood, who today became the first person ever to join the 1,000 Milestone Club at @mordenparkrun.

The very best of what @parkrunUK is all about.

My heart is full after Valentine Parkrun. 2,300 runners, sunshine, cake, hugs and the kind of community that lifts you without trying.

Grateful for a lovely chat with Dame Kelly Holmes.

A added bonus was catching up with friends over hot drinks.
