a few more from today..... My apologies if I missed you today or if your photo is not the clearest. The lighting today was challenging and most images needed a fair bit of editing before I could post them.

What a lovely morning for parkrunning and walking!

Beautiful weather, happy visitors, smiles all round from participants and volunteers alike, results processed, all finish tokens accounted for.

parkrun doesn't get any better unless everyone were to get a PB! lol 😁

Photos to follow......

It's a fine, dry, cool morning and just right for running....

The course should be good but with the possibility of a slight detour as previously when Pooh Corner was wet and muddy. Our set up volunteer will also be course inspector and will set up the most suitable route.

Just a couple of hours to go and the same call as before - 'ave a good un! 😊👍

There's now a vacant position for a Timer or a Finish Token hand-outer. (I'll do a swap.)

Please let me know if you can help in either of those roles at: [email protected] - thank you! 😊👍

"Oh, no, I'm not a runner." That's often what I hear when I stop on Sunday mornings to chat and hand out an invite on our Manor Park course. It's also what I hear when I ask if they would like to join us any Saturday at 9 o'clock. So I tell 'em that parkrun isn't ONLY for runners and that it's just as much a 'parkwalk' or a 'parkjog' and that it's NOT a race. You go at your own pace.

It's a great way to get fit or stay fit and it's good to be part of a group who feel similarly. If you're not a runner but like walking or would like to start then why not give Mansfield parkrun a try? We'll be pleased to see you! 😊

As we expected we're short of one finishing token, number 85.

If you didn't have your parkrun ID and finish token scanned after finishing please get in touch: [email protected] and PLEASE return your finisher token next time you visit Manor Park. We need every token to make the run results work - thank you. 🙂

BRILLIANT! 😊 First a big shout-out and thank you to ALL our wonderful volunteers who gave today - as they do every event - their time and effort in making Mansfield parkrun the undoubted success it is. 😍 Thank you also to visitor Jim O'Connor from Brierley who helped scan our finishers and to our regular Mansfield runner, Alex Harvie who ran and then was also a scanner.

We had a great event made even better by the wet-conditions alternative course. I stood at Pooh Puddle ready to photograph intrepid participants only to find most of 'em preferred to keep their feet dry. lol 😁 I do understand, though, as I hate running with wet feet! 😄

Another enjoyable parkrun Saturday. 😃 Photos to follow later.....
