Busy morning as Run Director at Fletcher Moss parkrun event number 309. A couple of incidents and lots of people, including local mayor Bev Craig.

Great big THANK YOU to all 27 volunteers who enabled event number 309 to go ahead!! 🦺👏

This morning, 517 people completed the dusty 5 km route. Welcome to 119 who visited us for the first time, especially the 18 people completing their FIRST EVER parkrun 🌱👏 There were 72 PBs and 11 people both running and volunteering 💪

Good turnout this morning, with 467 participants at event number 304 at Fletcher Moss parkrun. 97 completing their first parkrun here, with 16 completing their first ever parkrun 👏

Hazel, Laura, and Ben joined 19 others to volunteer for the event. Hazel marshalled at point 7 to keep runners on track to the finish. Laura was on hand with Flo for handing out finish tokens at the extended finish funnel. Ben ran the show as RD with thankfully no incidents or problems with the results, so plain sailing.

Great to have sign language support for the briefings (even with a temperamental speaker...) and lots of parkwalkers!

Well done to the 468 finishers this morning! Special welcome to the 126 people visiting us for the first time, including 22 completing their first ever parkrun 👏

🦺 Big THANK YOU to the 22 volunteers who helped out with everything to ensure a safe and welcoming event. Scott was on the bike and marshalling at Old Bedians rugby club while Ben was Run Director near the finish area.

Good luck to all those taking part in the Great Manchester Run tomorrow! 💪

Ben was Run Director this morning for event number 296.

Well done to all 542 finishers this morning!! Thank you for your patience with the extended finish funnel. Welcome to the 101 first timers at Fletcher Moss including 30 completing their first ever parkrun 👏

🦺 Special THANK YOU to the 19 hi-vis heroes helping out today, especially to Ian and Jackie who helped out post-run with barcode scanning and funnel managing, respectively, as the queues were growing. Kudos to those trying out new roles and stepping up for their first volunteer credit this morning too 👏

Fresh morning at Fletcher Moss parkrun event number 292 after the overnight rain. Big thank you to the 19 volunteers who helped make it happen, with quite a few missing due to the Easter hols.

360 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course with 49 new PBs and 81 first timers including 18 doing their first ever parkrun!

Great to meet Gill again from GoodGym Luton this morning and a big welcome to Aniedi for your first every GoodGym session AND first parkrun volunteering credit!! Clear, fresh, and crisp morning following a couple of wet evenings in Manchester.

Gill was our expert timekeeper this morning for Fletcher Moss parkrun event number 288. Almost in-sync with the finish tokens (pesky funnel duckers...), alternating hands in and out of gloves seemed to help a little bit on a chilly March morning. Aniedi was marshalling at the river bend (#2) cheering on participants going out and then returning for the final turn of the parkrun. Ben as RD was able to delegate the roles to a well-drilled 16 volunteers who enabled the event to go ahead without a hitch.

394 runners and walkers completed the 5 km with lots of puddles around the course keeping the people on their toes.
