Seafest-ive Park Run

By Victoria Velton

With the Cardwell Seafest slowly setting up around the runners, Parkrunners showed a market full of stall-holders just how fit they were. With no small thanks to Terry, a man behind the scenes of Cardwell Park Run who blocked retro and hot-rod traffic that morning so the parkrunners could jog on safely.

Terry has never run or walked parkrun, but he has turned up 140 times to volunteer. A beloved part of the Cardwell parkrun family, it's most weeks that Terry is the first to arrive with all the equipment to set up, he then becomes the Northern marshal before barcode scanning. A man beloved in the running community, who will be missed.

"We appreciate all you have done and we shall miss seeing your smiling face. Please remember to pop in for coffee with us sometimes. We wish you all the best. Thank you again, see you around." - Cardwell Park Run
