Did my first park run this morning which was a very positive experience. Not my fastest 5K but happy with my time. Was very conscious of not going too quickly and running to my own pace!

Everyone was very friendly and I DIDNT finish last!!!

Looking forward to the next one

Thanks! Will work to improve my time. Sadly I can’t make another park run for weeks now due to work but will def get back as soon as I can to see if I can improve my time 😊

Well done you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Parkrun times are always a bit slower, unless of course you're one of the whippets who get away first!

Keep up the good work ... happy running!

So glad you made it to Parkrun Elles78, and it sounds like you enjoyed it too. Don’t forget being a first timer you also got a Parkrun PB
