We joined the volunteer crew at Morden Parkrun this morning to take on the most prestigious roles in the pack as Park Walker and Tail Walker.

It’s a noble task - ensuring that no matter how much the hills (or the sludge) try to slow people down, nobody finishes last alone. There’s a certain artistry to navigating a 5k course when it’s 50% mud; it’s also a little bit slow and slippery requiring tactical balancing.

Still, we got the steps in, cheered on the runners, and successfully avoided any major face-plants. The park is beautiful in the muddy sunshine, the volunteers are legends, and we gained another credit for our efforts and had a nice walk and opportunity to get to know each other a little better 😀.
