The starting count sounds, and a group of people rushes forward towards the morning dawn. With a noticeable joy on his face, leaving problems and worries behind. Regardless of the weather conditions, the participants of the race move towards their intended goal, step by step overcoming space and time. 😊👍🏻
Deffo not PB in the winter as the grass can get muddy. In my opinion it's not a PB course really unless you're comparing it to a pretty hilly parkrun. The out-and-back is flat and fast but coming back up the hill (not a big hill but it feels hard at the end of a 5km) in the field at the end is slow due to gradient and surface. There are tons of faster courses. But it's a great run and I'd totally recommend it 😃
I was intrigued to see people on the course in hi-viz, first thought was guide runners but there were two and not obviously strappped to somebody else. Do you know what roles they were doing?
At least one was a first aider. Several run each week in high vis with a first aid bum bag at WHM. Maybe they all were. They don't use their future roster so I'm not sure what the roles were officially... 🤔
@@NicolaRuns interesting, and good thinking for an out & back course. At Stratford we just have a first aid kit by the finish that we tell everyone about in the briefing and they help themselves if needed.
Well when I saw the field and skatepark I wasn't expecting that! What a great course, imagine steam trains rumbling along that route that you ran...
It's such a lovely route and the sort of bouncy path is fun too 😃 I might have to go back and pretend to be a train chugging along! 🚂🙃🤣

That's beautiful 😊
Always positive comments and encouragement at parkrun
Definitely, that's one of the great things about it 😃🤗
Looking forward to doing it this Saturday having seen the vid !!
How was it? 😀
Lovely to see the video context after listening to the #withmenow pod 💛
It's the opposite of the no context comment... It's all of the context video! 🤣🤣🤣
How hilly was the course? And would you recommend it for a Pb?

I reckon it's only about 100 ft though so go give it a crack 😃

WHM has a separate Facebook group for qualified first aiders who are happy to respond to an incident and 2 people run with first aid kits each week 😊
