Week 50
On a glorious and fairly warm December morning with the sun shining fiercely, a ridiculous 39 members turned out for parkrun, two of which volunteered. After Jane W marshalled last week at the new parkrun at Battlestead Croft in Burton, our members decided that this week they were also going have a piece of the action, and so 11 independantly turned up to run their debuts on what was a rather muddy, albeit extremely flat course. Connah B and Dan W were first in their age categories.
Back home at Alvaston, there was also another large contingent of runners, with 13 hitting the tarmac. Danielle was the first lady home (again!) and there were glorious course PBs for Dara P, Keiran M and Ryan F. Kathleen F also helped out with a spot of marshalling.
On the road at Colwick in Nottingham, Alyson W, Samuel B and Tomas H made their first visits as did Kevin P to Isabel parkrun over in Stafford. Deanna S & Richard B visited Melton Mowbray parkrun, with Deanna grabbing a course PB and Richard finishing 10th on his first visit. Sarah R made her first visit to Poolsbrook parkrun.
On the elusive letter hunt this week were David L grabbing a "J" at Jersey Farm parkrun in St Albans, and Lucy T & Michael T at University of Northampton parkrun collecting a "U".
Well done to everyone who ran and volunteered today. We'll see you all next weekend for a Christmas double bill 💚💜🎄🎅🏼
