Although it was cool and wet, parkrun welcomed old and new faces to the fold.
“Despite not having perfect sunshine, we were surprised to have many new people join us, and we had fun meeting the new parkrunners. We can’t wait to spend our Saturdays in 2023 with our new family,” said volunteer, Chantelle Young.
