Karen Krok, celebrating her 100th parkrun, said she was excited to reach the milestone. “I began parkrun many years ago on the other side of town in Bedford View, but in the past five years, I’ve been attending the Atholl parkrun.

I was supposed to reach the milestone last month, but I couldn’t due to the heavy rain we’ve experienced, but I’m glad I finally did.”
