It was another lovely sunny day in the Woods this week and we had people from all over the UK and world join us this week as Manchester hosted some great concerts, including the Artic Monkeys at Old Trafford. Talking of Old Trafford there was also a small football match taking place at Wembley between a couple of our local clubs, which seemed to steal away some of our regular participants - we hope you enjoyed the match if you went down to watch City v United.
Aside from the couple from Southampton who were here for the music scene, we were also joined by Tim who was over from New Zealand. A native Urmstonian, Tim has spent the past 20 years living in the Southern Hemisphere and we were delighted to welcome him to the team as both an active volunteer and participant in the run. He very kindly started his day performing our pre-course inspection, prior to his run. After his run he then jumped in as the communications person and then joined us in 6/cut for some cake and token sorting afterwards, where we heard all about his parkrun adventures and travels around Europe. We hope that you enjoy the rest of your trip and time in Copenhagen Tim, and have a safe journey home.
In total, this week 453 people ran, jogged and walked the course, of whom 71 were first timers and 81 recorded new Personal Bests. Representatives of 38 different clubs took part.
