Week 46
It was a fairly cloudy affair today, for the UK parkruns at least, with 28 runners taking to the courses around the world, and four members volunteering - at Alvaston parkrun Brian W, Deanna S, Richard B helped out and at Markeaton, Martin S did a spot of marshalling. Many thanks all!
On their holidays, Brendan D was in Northern Ireland, running on an all sand course in Portrush - definitely hard work - and Fiona F completed Waitangi parkrun in Wellington, New Zealand, where I'm sure the weather was better than back home!
Â
That said, whilst it was rather dull, it actually was good for running despite a lot of overnight rain. At Alvaston, there were course PBs for Dara P and Lauren G, and Dan W, Jane W, Nicky P were all first in their age categories. Over in nearby Markeaton Park, both of our runners, Philip W and Graham Y were also first in their age categories.
There was a fair smattering of tourism too, with Julie M getting herself an excellent PB at Wollaton Hall parkrun. There were first time visits for Michael T at Beacon Hill Country Park parkrun, Sarah R at Oaklands parkrun, Lucy T at Pavilion Gardens parkrun, Alyson W & Samuel B at Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun, and Kevin P at Victoria Dock parkrun.
Great work once again you Super Greens! 💚💜
