University Parks parkrun turned 3 today with an astounding 877 runners and walkers completing the 5 km course. Due to the birthday, local cancellations, and calm(ish) weather, many came out to celebrate with an array of home baked cakes at the finish line.

The river levels were high with a bit of mud on the course. The triple funnel was in FULL operation with the finish tokens handed out by the slick operation of Theo, Anna, Bessie, Juno, and me.

Well done to the RD team of Fiona and Ryan, and a big thank you to the rest of the volunteers for enabling the event and for helping out those who needed it during the parkrun.
