Frozen fingers thanks to Storm Jorge did not hold us back from supporting the many runners at Leazes parkrun this morning!

It was a special one, the first ever Saturday 29th February in parkrun history, and a lot of places were doing something interesting (such as running the course in the opposite direction) to make the event super interesting. Leazes stuck to the usual route; however, we did see a course record which is enough in our books! Well done!

Our tasks were marshaling, tokens and scanning and we even caught up with former goodgymer, Dan, who was run director. It all ran smoothly, no tokens dropped and Bronty (Debbie's dog who has now done 3 Community missions) didn't cover us all in muddy pawprints. I'd call that a success...

A great event with great people!
