Since the event started on January 12, 2019, over 3,500 people have completed the picturesque course around the Pastures, clocking up over 6,200 finishes between them and supported by a friendly and welcoming band of volunteers.

After a week’s break due to the Might Dub Fest, this Saturday’s milestone Parkrun event promises to return with a festive atmosphere.
