Saturday 14 September 2024 - Wythenshawe parkrun #585

On a perfect day for running, desperate requests for more marshalls found me volunteering to marshall at the Far Bridge with Lizzie, pictured above as some of the faster runners come through, and Sue marshalled at the nearby Hill, where apparently it has been known for the occasional runner to take a wrong left turn.

Graham kindly escorted Owen around in 46 minutes, well ahead of the tail walker.

This jolly bunch, pictured at Far Bridge, eventually finished in 59:55, happy to be just inside an hour for the 5km.

Full results are here. It was a lovely morning for the 315 participants plus marshalls, and the courtyard where the tea room is closed but a mobile tea room tries to cope, was vibrant today. Sue had brought a flask, so we were able to eliminate the long queue to be served. All very sociable though, and a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.
