🌸 Norm-Hudlin Trails parkrun #227 – Spring has sprung! 🌸
What a wonderfully colourful way to welcome spring at Norm-Hudlin Trails! Although the morning started under a blanket of overcast skies, our fabulous volunteers certainly brought the sunshine with their bright spring accessories. 🌈🌸
This week 185 people ran, jogged and walked the course, with an amazing 28 first timers joining us and 22 Personal Bests recorded. We were also delighted to welcome representatives from six different clubs.
🏅 Milestone celebrations!
A very special congratulations to Joel Fry on his 50th parkrun! 🎉👏 What an incredible achievement, and especially wonderful to see a young member of our community reaching this milestone. We hope there are many, many more to come!
Also celebrating milestones today:
💚 250 parkruns: Andre Viljoen
🖤 300 parkruns: Antonie Grobler
Huge congratulations to all our milestone achievers — every milestone represents many Saturday mornings, plenty of steps and lots of memories! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💚
🎂 Happy birthday, Charlene! 🎉
We are especially grateful that you chose to spend part of your special day giving back to our community. Thank you for volunteering and helping make another Saturday morning at Norm-Hudlin possible. We hope the rest of your birthday was every bit as wonderful as you deserve! 💗
We were delighted to have our former Event Director, Chris Kisbey-Green, pay us another special visit today — this time accompanied by his son, Aidan. Although Chris now calls Germany home, it was wonderful to have him back on familiar trails and among the Norm-Hudlin community. 💚🇿🇦 What a lovely surprise to see you both again!
And, as always, a massive thank you to our 15 volunteers. Your time, enthusiasm and willingness to help are what make parkrun happen every Saturday. 💚
Here's to spring, colourful Saturdays and plenty more parkrun adventures ahead! 🌸🌿🏃♀️
