A beautiful morning for parkrun. Blue skies, sunshine and a cooling breeze. We had 459 participants, including 48 first timers. 53 people recorded PBs. 11 people were doing their VERY FIRST parkrun. We really hope you enjoyed it and will be back next week. Well done, everyone!

We celebrated milestones: Vicky Slota, Grace Cordeaux and Tara Haworth (visiting from the Peak District) all completed their 50th parkrun. Matt Cooke completed his 100th and Astra Richardson her 250th. Great achievements, all of you.

Congratulations to Martin Watson who turns 70 in the coming days and will move to a brand-new age group! Whoop! Whoop! Martin did his first Norwich parkrun back in 2010 and, as well as notching up 164 parkruns, he is one of our regular Run Directors and has volunteered 174 times. It was great to see Martin enjoying a celebratory parkrun today, with his family. Congratulations and thank you, Martin.

A big thank you to all today’s volunteers. It wouldn’t happen without you all.
