Hello Parkrunners
What a day, what a weather?! We believe you enjoyed today’s run; the atmosphere of people and the company of 'excited' pets? Well done and thank you for coming along.
Thank you to our sponsors, Lucozade and the Sweatshop. To Emma (from Lucozade) who visited us today with loads of freebies; big thank you! Not forgetting the relentless commitment of the volunteers, some of whom are tied down with exams, research et’al, but endeavour to make sure that the event holds.
Before rambling on, we congratulate Laura Eaton, winner of the Sweatshop prize for Runner of the Month- in April. Well done, Laura!
Two events ago, on the 8th of May, the Platt Fields Park, Park run hosted a new record number of runners- 150! Hopefully, numbers shall continue to grow and we rely on you, to encourage family, friends and colleagues to come along and enjoy the Park run experience. Please remember that next week is the ‘bring a friend’ Park run event at Platt Field Park, South Manchester.
Event news: May 22, 2010
Pre-race induction began at 9:03 with 123 runners in attendance, of which 27 are First timers. Welcome and do come along next week. As usual, runners are made aware of peculiar Health and Safety issues to ensure we are good to go.
Understandably, a repeat of the results table is unnecessary. So the results can be found at
www.parkrun.org.uk/south-manchester/Results/LatestResults.aspx. This is a deviation from the known style of mentioning the first three runners through the finish line. It aims to build more of communal participation and encouragement. We believe this benefits the different age groups and athletic abilities, participating in the run.
Finally, the Park run team wishes you a very good week(end) ahead. Do enjoy the sunshine, while it lasts and remember the 29th of May- ‘bring a friend’!
