What a fabulous Copper Canyon Canter (we did pass horses as it happens🤣) this morning for our Sunday Social run. We were treated to amazing views that were well worth the climbs and managed to have plenty of photos stops to take it all in. Great company and banter with distances varying from 6.5 to 16 miles, and everything in between, all finished off with coffee, cake (or a collagen bar! 😳) and chat. Special mention for Lucy Davies, who despite being wary of the hills, absolutely smashed them! 💪🏻👊🏻 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Congrats to our awesome member and all round good egg John Kiernan 👏👏👏

🎉 A huge thank you and congratulations to John on reaching an incredible 100 volunteer credits at parkrun! 🎉
Since joining our core team, John has continued to give his time, energy, and enthusiasm to help make our event happen every week. From keeping a watchful eye on runners and walkers crossing our famous slippery bridge, to timekeeping, marshalling, scanning, and just about every role in between, he's always been willing to step up wherever needed.

Volunteers are the heart of parkrun, and John’s commitment over 100 events has made a real difference to our community. His reliability, positivity, and support for participants and fellow volunteers alike are hugely appreciated.

Thank you, John, for everything you do and for helping to make our parkrun such a welcoming and successful event. Here's to the next 100! 👏🏃‍♂️

This week’s Sunday’s social run will be the Copper Canyon Canter 😊
We will meet at 9:30am on the right hand side of Pontsticill reservoir by the dam ( ///pages.penned.proves) whereupon we will take the clockwise route around the res to Dolygaer then we will take the path to copper canyon back to the sailing club and then return to our start point, a total of 6.5 undulating miles. It will all be at a steady pace with plenty of photo stops to take in the beautiful scenery. Afterwards we’ll take the short drive to the Brecon Mountain railway for coffee and cakes and a chat. 🌞😎☕️🧁😊

Well done to the 3, 4.5 and 6 milers on tonight’s totem pole trot! We were lucky to dodge the showers and everyone was super speedy … I think we were all afraid of getting caught in the rain. Well run everyone and a special welcome to the two new runners tonight (sorry I didn’t get their names 🫣) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜🤍💛
