A great task to see the before and after shots.

Clearing the bracken and other tasks at Mousehold Heath enables local wildlife to thrive.

Bring your own gloves!

We'll meet outside the Forum at 6pm. It's about 2.5km each-way so there is also a walk option.

For anyone who wants to meet us there, we'll meet at the public car park (Gurney Road, just before the traffic lights at the Ring Road) at 6.30pm.

Although there will be no baggage point at The Forum, you can leave any belongings in my vehicle.

Catton Parkrun #392 saw 286 people get up and run/jug/walk their way around this beautiful park on a warm summer Saturday. Roisin, Bill and Jonathan turned out for Goodgym in their running apparel whilst Alina was scanner, Beks & Emrys in their usual woods position and I was Funnel Manager. Lots of tourists and first timers, always good to see. The summer holidays are proving to be tight getting people to volunteer on the rota, today was nearly cancelled due to lack of marshals, thankfully the Facebook cry out enabled the event to take place.

After the 5k run (with very slight light rain) and a refreshment, the wheelbarrow was found hidden behind the main lodge building, ready for Jonathan to collect and transport the 13 heavy Old Catton traffic cones located outside the main entrance to help manage parking.

Susanna, Roisin and Elizabeth & beks (&emrys) & added much colour to volunteer and celebrate pride at the Catton 5k!

Catton Parkrun #390 saw 261 people arriving on what they hoped would be a cooler morning, but no it was HUMID not very pleasant at all. Beks (&Emrys) enjoyed their cooler spot in the woods to Marshal whilst Bobby took on Disco Corner for the first time, after he rang Susanna to bring her speaker so he could utilise his phone. I was timekeeper, out in the sun, forgetting my hat this week. everyone set off at a general pace this week, including a number of first timers who had just discovered this lovely park even though they’d lived close buy for many years. Flying the Goodgym flag today Roisin, Suzanna , Alina & Robert O who flew around the park. Well done everyone. As marshals we had cake as one of our regular runners/marshals was running is 200th Parkrun. Shout out to everyone completing the course today, wether it was your first time, tourist, milestone run, you got out of bed and you did it. Whatever time you did, however you got yourself round, you did it. Well done, see you next week
