Still Muddy
A glimpse of sunshine as Andy gives his run brief.
But out there, the course is still rather muddy and damp as beautifully illustrated on the legs of today's course checker!
Course checker is just one of the many volunteer positions that need filling each week. Please do check the roster and see if there is a job that you would like to do. If you are unsure, then email bushyhelpers@parkrun.com and Pat, our friendly Volunteer Coordinator will be happy to assist you.
