Last Saturday was a really nice start to the weekend for everyone who joined us at Parkrun. It wasn’t too hot, and there was a great, upbeat spirit on the course. It’s wonderful to see people keeping up with their New Year’s health goals and striving to set new personal bests with a minute here, a few seconds there. Ultimately, it all adds up to a healthier lifestyle.
Keep that positive mindset going, and thank you to all our volunteers!
