Juno and I completed the pre-event course check for Fletcher Moss parkrun event #245. Around 480 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on Manchester and London marathon weekend. We marshaled at Old Bedians marshal point 5.

30 km run beforehand then 7 km back home. Juno ran 17 km.

Juno, Gosia, and I made our way to Fletcher Moss parkrun event #244 to help marshal 337 runners and walkers on Easter Saturday.

One of the boomerangs 🪃 from South Beach Australia made its way to parkrun as part of a global tour.

Nice day even with rain and clouds around. 25.68 km ran beforehand then a 20 km walk afterwards so certainly got our steps in...

Juno and I went to help out at Fletcher Moss parkrun event #243. 493 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course, including a bride in full white gown and veil.

We did the course check, which was perfect now the tree near marshal point 1 has been trimmed so not blocking half the path. We helped set up and marshaled at Old Bedians.

Very sunny morning and lots of happy runners/walkers!

Thank you to the 514(ish) runners and walkers who completed Fletcher Moss parkrun event # 242. Even bigger thank you to the 20 volunteers who helped ensure the event ran smoothly.

I was RD so coordinated the volunteers (we were looking a bit short Thursday morning), set up the start/finish area, and tried my best to manage the funnel but with so many numbers, there are always a few funnel duckers!

Wonderful morning for it and the new speaker was super helpful! Even I was heard for the briefing!

Juno and I spent an hour or so picking up litter in Longsight and Birchfields Park. Collected 2 full sacks mostly of Miami Crispy takeaway waste, drinks bottles and cans, and several dummies.

Update: picked up another couple of bags in Longsight on Sunday morning too

After dropping Juno home, I ran to Fletcher Moss park to give the 1st timers briefing and marshal at Old Bedians rugby club (#5) for event number 240. 416 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course.

Before the canoe litter pick, I helped with some of the set up and barcode scanned at Fletcher Moss parkrun event #239.

435 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on a clear but nippy Saturday spring morning. Managed to get a run there and across to Burnage afterwards.
