If you have enjoyed the parkrun competition this year, and would like to comment on its structure or the courses included, please let Ian Ashcroft have your ideas as soon as possible as he is currently compiling suggestions for the 2018 Summer Series Competition.
As I mentioned at the end of last year’s competition, please also remember that all parkruns need volunteers to survive, so if you have participated over the summer competition and haven’t already volunteered have a go at marshalling to support our local parkruns!
