Saturday 21 December 2024 - Wythenshawe parkrun #599

Here a few of our parkrun family gather before the start of Wythenshawe's 599th event. By this time I'd headed of with a chap called Tom (Bea's partner) to the slippery corner at Far Bridge. My garb doesn't allow access to any pockets, so the photos in this posting are courtesy of several participants, and WhatsApp.

I was back in time to avoid the queue and enjoy hot coffee and a delicious bacon butty.

Star of the occasion was Annie, who was dressed in spray on leggings and was firmly trussed into an illuminated star sandwich. Here she is next to Jeanette, who celebrated her 400th parkrun with the third highest age related position out of the 290 walkers and runners. Full results are here.

L-R: Paul, Andy, Martin, Annie, Jeanette, Jan, Sue, Owen

Nanaimo bars provided by Jeanette went down a treat. This was a lovely occasion. Merry Christmas everyone, and best wishes for 2025.
