The Easter holiday has brought us a record number of runners this week at 140 parkrunners, which was well over our previous 'big field' on the 5th Nov 2011 when we had 127 runners. The results show a large number of 'First Timer!' entries so we welcome all the Easter parkrun holiday makers (otherwise known as 'parkrun tourists') to Killerton and hope you enjoyed it!

We not only had a record number of runners but also a record number of dogs today, all under the good control of their running buddies.

A quick reminder that it's only three weeks to go to our big fat party on the 28th - see the previous news item for more info.

To celebrate the volunteers are arranging for a birthday cake to be made and putting on a bit of a party atmoshphere.

All parkrunners are welcome to join us in the celebrations after the run, which will be held in the stableblock courtyard.

If you would like to make some cakes or biscuits of your own to bring along and share with everyone that would be gratefully appreciated I am sure.

Also, we agreed that a patriotic theme for running kit would be in keeping with the bunting and celebratory atmosphere; if you choose to join us and wear something red, white or blue (or all of the colours) for your run it will make for some colourful photos that week.
