🧪 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🧪

This Saturday at Bedford parkrun we’re testing something new: a double finish funnel.

With big events like Christmas Day coming up (it'll be here before we know it!), we want to make sure we can handle bigger numbers safely and smoothly. So we’ll be running 2 finish chutes side-by-side to see how it works for us.

What does this mean for you?
1. 🦺 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀: We need extra finish token issuers and funnel marshals for the double setup this week. Please book in with us as soon as possible before Saturday by emailing 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱@𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗿𝘂𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺. If we don't get enough volunteers, we'll have to postpone our trial until we can get enough help.
2. 🏃🏼‍♀️🚶 𝗥𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: Please listen to the 8:50am briefing and follow the volunteer instructions at the finish. You’ll be directed into one of two funnels. It’s a trial, so please keep in mind that we're learning - thank you for your patience and support while we test it!

We can’t put on parkrun, or run new trials, without our amazing volunteers and your support 🧡

See you Saturday:
📍 Bedford Park
⏰ Briefing: 8:50am
🏃‍♀️ Start: 9:00am

Let’s make it a smooth one!

This week Coach Sharon has been feeling pretty rough and wasn’t able to make yesterday evening’s session. As a coach, that’s never easy!

But these determined ladies weren’t about to let that stop them. They turned up, supported each other and smashed a huge milestone in their running journey – 7 minutes of continuous running! 🎉🙌

Proof that when the coach is sick, the team carries on! 💪❤️

We couldn’t be prouder of their commitment, positivity and progress. Hip hip hooray for 7 minutes! 🎊

Sun’s out. Everyone suddenly becomes “definitely doing something active this summer” 😄

So why not give yourself a target?

The Bedford Harriers Triathlon on 16th August is open for entries, whether you want to:
🏊 Take on your first triathlon
🚴 Challenge yourself this summer
🏃 Race with friends in a relay team
🎯 Or simply have an event to train towards

Not ready to do all 3 disciplines yourself? Grab some friends and enter as a TEAM RELAY. One swims, one bikes, one runs. Simple.

You don’t need to be elite. You just need a bit of motivation, a dash of courage, and possibly someone willing to lend you a bike 🚲

Make this the summer you actually do the thing.
