This week's run report is brought to us by the lovely Sandra HOWARD, thank you Sandra!
Today was event 158 of the Wyre Forest Parkrun. The rain stayed away this morning as 210 of us passed through the finishing line to collect our token after completing our morning parkrun.

We hope to see some of you again soon.
Here are those first timers:
