The alarm went off far off too early on a Sunday morning. But all for a great cause - the return of junior parkrun along the Promenade at Felixstowe.

Arriving early (definition: before the Race Director) we were able to take up our marshalling poistions with a great view of the sea, the pier and the big boats heading towards Harwich harbour - some of those containers may have even included your new running shoes, maybe.

9am came around and the little flying feet of Felixstowe took off for their first 2km run in over a year. Beaming smiles, whoops and cheers, and a sense of pride and satisfaction all combined with blue skies made for a succesful return of another junior parkrun in Suffolk. Well done to all those that took part & supporting the return of parkrun.

And yes, chips on the beach was the lunchtime reward for that early start.
