Well Done Parkrun!

By Victoria Velton

Running can truly bring people together in the most supportive environment, and I think our region’s Parkrun courses are something special because of it. Families running together, siblings having fun trying to overtake each other, good mates keeping pace side by side, tots and dogs straining against the bounds of prams and leashes respectfully, and volunteers making it all fun and safe for everyone.

You see every kind of combination of community spirit and support out on the courses here, and you all deserve the PBs and good health you maintain by dragging yourselves out of bed every Saturday morning and joining in our Parkruns, well done everybody!
