Wearing Shorts Was a Bad Idea

This week there were 149 runners braving the snow, of whom 14 were first timers and somehow 9 people recorded new Personal Bests! Representatives of 18 different athletics clubs took part. We had a number of celebrations prior to the run including some milestone T-shirts presented (well done Ami Gardner and Sam Bickle). There are still a number of T-shirts to be claimed so if you have earned one and not yet received it then let us know. We also had a very moo-ving and emotional moment with the presentation of the male points award. I will treasure it all year and try not to break it (or rather try and keep it away from my 3 year old!). Caroline Beechey wasn't there today to collect the female points trophy but should be along soon. Finally, and most importantly, we had a massive round of applause for the sterling efforts of Dean Sartin and Keith Curwood. They had somehow managed to run 23 parkrun laps in the previous 23 hours. The final lap to make it 24 in 24 hrs was completed in 32:09. Fantastic efforts guys! We had two people reach their 50 milestone T-shirts today, our parkrun event director Gareth SNELSON and Dean B. SARTIN. Well done! Remember you can only reach these sort of numbers by turning up, running and bringing your barcode! Unfortunately we had 7 unknowns today whose efforts in the snow won’t count towards their T-shirts. Huge thanks to this week's volunteers for standing around in the snow or putting the signs out
