Spring is near, but that doesn't mean we are past the cold weather. Our #parkrun started nice today, but it soon got windy and chilly!

We saw lots of happy parkrunners this morning, some regulars, some relatively new, and some returning for their first parkrun in a while.

A heartfelt thank you to our awesome volunteers who helped the event go ahead.

Morgan returned as our fearless Run Director after maternity leave and the birth of twin girls. It was chilly and windy. We thought there may have been cause for cancellation, but it wasn't too bad. We forged ahead and enjoyed a fun morning.

Join us tomorrow morning for Osborn MetroPark parkrun 127. Morgan is our Run Director. Most volunteer roles are filled, though we are still in need of a Photographer and someone to provide First Timers Welcome.

Please arrive before 835am. See you tomorrow morning.

It’s Wednesday and that means 3 more sleeps until #parkrun #127

Come on out on February 1 and welcome back Morgan as our run director.

We do have a full team of volunteers, but check out our roster and consider volunteering for future dates.
