Event number 181
2nd March 2019

 

What a fabulous morning for this weeks parkrun. Although we did not have the sun from the beginning of the week, storm Freya stayed away today to allow us to enjoy our beautiful Wyre forest parkrun. Spring is in the air and for those who looked carefully there were two rabbits joining our run this morning.

Welcome and well done to all who were first timers today or chose to visit Wyre Forest parkrun for the first time today. Hope to see you all again soon:

Archie JONES, Ricky WEBB, Andy JOHNSON, Richard FALLOWS, Liz WALKER, Rosie ELLIOTT, Joanne JONES

Some milestones t shirts were achieved today. Callum CHILDE achieved his 10 parkrun t shirt, Emma TIPTON and Sarah PERSICH both achieved 50 parkruns today and Deborah LOWE achieved her 100th parkrun. Well done to you all. When you get your new t shirts - wear them with pride.

Whether today was your first parkrun or your 325th, well done and thank you starting the weekend with Wyre Forest parkrun.

parkrun is such a brilliant event - free, gets you out and you can bring your family (human or dog) with you to enjoy. Whether you are first over the finish or the tail walker - everyone is welcome and all are encouraged along the way. What other event can tick all these boxes?

spring parkrun 2019

A big thank you as always goes to each and every parkrun volunteer.

Philip SHELDON • Sarah PRICE • Steve REDDING • Stuart JONES • David STARKIE • Duncan STARKIE • Carole EVANS • Aran MOORE • Matt KIMBER • Emma MORGAN • Graeme ANDERSON • Sandra PEDERSEN • John FRANCIS • Matt SMITH • Tony COLCLOUGH • Elizabeth COLCLOUGH • Emily PRICE • Graham GOOD • Tim SCARBOROUGH • Ryan MORGAN • Daren JACKSON • Debbie JACKSON • Debbie HYRONS • William SMITH • Abigail GOOD

parkrun can only be free and take place each week with the help and support of our hero’s, who undertake various roles to allow those of us who run, to do so safely and allow the event to take place, therefore give volunteering a go. It’s a supportive community and there are many roles which need filling each week. Some roles mean you can still run and also be a hero. Contact the team and give it a go.

Email: wyreforest@parkrun.com

Enjoy your week and look forward to seeing you all next Saturday to do it all again.

We received visitors from Sandwell Valley, Kendal, Suffolk, Cannock and Perry Hall!

Thank you to tourist Darren for the following feedback:

"Was across here from Suffolk this weekend with my wife and we took part in your event.

Just wanted to say what a cracking park run you all do, much harder course than our flat one at Great Cornard, but a beautiful ,well run, friendly, event.

Thank you."

Cheers Darren, always good to hear great things about our event!

Congratulations to the totally inspirational Lindsay PULLEY who bettered his own Age Category record for VM80-84 this week with a cracking time of 32:46. Lindsay is our oldest parkrunner and has now completed a whopping 236 parkruns. What a star!

lindsayACR

 

The following parkrunners achieved milestone recognition this week - welcome to the 50 club Sarah CLARK and junior Amaya MOORE.

 

We lost more finish tokens again this week (sad face). So please, please, please don't take our tokens home with you. If you have any of our finish tokens we would really like them back - just drop them in a bucket or hand to a volunteer who will be most grateful, thank you.

 

And very importantly - don't forget your barcode! And if you do, please do not ask any of our volunteers to manually enter your result as I'm afraid the answer will always be 'no'. Put a spare in your car, kit bag, mobile phone case or under your shoe insole now... just don't forget to bring it!

Thank you all, see you next time!

parkrun020219

Christine WENHAM (above) said "Sore knees today but what a beautiful day and lovely run! Thanks to everyone who volunteered so we could get our fix"

So thank you to:

Gillian TYLER • Nigel GARDNER • David MORE • Mark WALLACE • Sarah PRICE • Annette MORE • Alison FLETCHER • Neil CRABBE • Andrew GARLICK • Carole EVANS • Lenka MOORE • Aran MOORE • Matt KIMBER • Amy SMITH • Lindsay TILLSLEY • John FRANCIS • Steve KIMBER • Gavin MILLICHIP • Tim SCARBOROUGH • Debbie TURNER • Caz SMITH • Dylan TURNER • Debbie JACKSON • Charlie SMITH • William SMITH • Mark SHELDON • Sarah BOWLES • Sarah PUGH

A huge CONGRATULATIONS must go to William RICHARDSON yet again for lowering his own Course Record by another few seconds to make it 15:35!! This time also saw him claim the overall Age Graded Course Record for Wyre Forest parkrun with a percentage of 83.64. Absolutely astounding pace - this is 5.01 minutes per mile!!! Which is why we didn't get any photographs of Will in action I'm afraid..!

And well done to Philip JONES who completed his milestone 50th parkrun with us this week. Great commitment Phil.

We were also joined by over 35 members and supporters of Cleobury Mortimer Running Club who completed the parkrun as part of their club's event calendar and championship. Thank you to them all for their continued support of Wyre Forest parkrun and for staying to cheer everyone at the finish line!

CMRC at parkrun

Ellen POWELL remarked that "Wyre Forest parkrun has the best finish line supporters. Are they cheering because you've just ran a parkrun or because you're still alive at the top of heart attack hill"!! Both Ellen! We think everyone deserves a big cheer for their efforts.

And Bryony POYNER said "Fantastic finish line support today - thank you all!"

Thank you for all your lovely comments this week!
