RUNNewport Riverfront Parkrun takeover - 01.03.25

Image
  St David's Day Riverfront Parkrun takeover - RUNNewport did it in style!  What a beautiful Saturday morning it was for parkrun.   It's almost like the weather knew it was St David's Day!   P retty much all of the 30-odd volunteers today were provided by local social running club RUNNewport and we were more than delighted to see sun and blue skies, making volunteering even more fun than usual.   Every member was glad to offer their support to the 309 runners, whether that be by cheering them along the route, timing them over the line, scanning their barcode or in any one of the many other roles we were covering. RUNNewport is based in the heart of Newport, and with one of our weekly sessions being held along the riverfront, we are all very familiar with the flat and fast nature of Riverfront parkrun, which makes it ripe for PBs (of which there were many today).   Congratulations to our 3 coaches reaching a milestone today - Nicola Mayo doing her 100th park...
