Report written by Caroline
We had two representatives at parkruns across Cambridge this weekend! There was Harriet at Fulbourn Hospital on one side of town, and Caroline at Brook Leys over on the other. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Harriet made for an excellent marshal, cheering on the runners and walkers and providing valuable moral support. Caroline got to work placing signs directing participants and battling the winds to highlight benches with hi-vis tabards, before taking the mic to deliver the first timers briefing. She can now tick 'standing atop a tree planter to deliver an amplified address to a surprisingly large crowd' off her bucket list! ๐ค
With a number of nearby events offlined, Brook Leys saw 667 runners and walkers - what an amazing atmosphere! A real highlight was helping someone at their first ever parkrun register last-minute to have a barcode in time, and catching up with them afterwards to hear how much they enjoyed it. The spirit of parkrun was on full display today! โบ๏ธ
parkrun is a free, community event where you can walk, jog, run, volunteer or spectate. parkrun is 5k and takes place every Saturday morning.
