On a better weekend for running, we had a record turnout this morning, with 237 crossing the finish line.
We also had Pete Beard, who was celebrating   his 50th parkrun; with a guard of honour provided along the way by his club – Sospan Road Runners.

This week 237 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 28 were first timers and 55 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 15 different clubs took part.

 

The event was made possible by 16 volunteers:

Ian HOSKINS • Andrew THOMAS • Bruce MORGAN • Dewi DAVIES • Emyr EVANS • Tracy DAVIES • Byron WILLIAMS • Kevin COLLINS • Eirlys WILLIAMS • Helen JONES • Barry ARMSTRONG • Scott LEWIS-ARMSTRONG • Peter BEARD • Helen DAVIES • Rhys DELANEY • Sue THOMAS

Llanelli Coast parkrun started on 19th November 2016. Since then 3,337 participants have completed 15,996 parkruns covering a total distance of 79,980 km, including 3,623 new Personal Bests. A total of 247 individuals have volunteered 2,019 times.

 

We have just inspected the Llanelli Coast parkrun course and here are many patches ice, lots of slush and snow on the course.
    The weather conditions are due to get worse before they are better and freezing temperatures are forecast throughout the night.
We have therefore decided to take the early decision to cancel tomorrow’s parkrun.
  I’m sure you will understand that safety of all runners and volunteers has been paramount in this decision as we not only consider the actual condition of course but the safety or otherwise of travel to and from the event.

We will run PACER week next week so you will not miss out on this opportunity!

In the meantime, please stay safe everybody and wrap up warm.

Many Thanks
Core Team

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Saturday the 10^th November, we will be running an alternative parkrun route. This course, like the present, will be an out & back one; but shall be run in an Easterly direction. Most parkruns have a plan” B”, in case of bad weather park maintenance etc. I think it will be a nice change, after 98 runs so far. The route map can be seen in the link below.
The course has been measured by surveyors wheel and is exactly 5K.
