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!

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!

Sadly, due to a change in the terms of use with Flickr - we can no longer add photographs to our run report in the old way. And our Flickr account will soon be closing. If you wish to download any photographs from this account please do it now as they will be deleted soon.

We should hopefully have a new way of sharing photographs with you on its way soon and I will of course let you know the details when I have them.

See you next time!

22/12/2018 Wyre Forest parkrun #171 Sandra’s Sparkly Christmas Run Report

Posted on by

Wyre Forest parkrun
Event number 171
22nd December 2018

This week's Christmas parkrun report is written by the lovely Sandra HOWARD. So relax and enjoy!

The press called today ‘Super Saturday’ and what a super Saturday it was as 242 of us completed this weeks parkrun on such a beautiful morning too. As it was the last Saturday before Christmas - many entered the spirit of Wyre Forest parkrun and dressed in suitable Christmas attire. Where else would you see a Christmas present running alongside Christmas trees and a Christmas pud? Even some of the dogs came dressed up. There were Santa’s and reindeer in a sea of red and green running through the wyre forest. One lucky child had their very own sleigh ride this morning!

As 242 of us ran around the forest we were cheered on by our wonderful volunteers. These are the people that make parkrun possible each week. So if you have not yet volunteered - make it a New Years resolution to give it a go. It’s easy and you are giving something back into parkrun. Two volunteers today gained their 25 volunteer badges. They were the wonderful Sandra PEDERSON cheering us on as we ran and the wonderful Debbie HYRONS who was issuing us with our finish tokens. Well done both and a huge THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH.

Some special marshal mentions this morning must go to the lovely girls at the 4K mark for singing jiggle bells so well as we passed them and to Mason the reindeer for encouraging us on before we ran up cardiac hill. A big thank you to goes to Ryan MORGAN who with a little help from his mum made some scrumptious shortbread Christmas trees for us as a post run treat. Thank you.
