Hoarse from the course

Saturday 27th September

Written by Ben Foster

409 runners ran or walked the 5 km course at event number 266 at Fletcher Moss. I was Run Director so just about managed to get enough volunteers, and did the 1st timers briefing, set up, main briefing, and results processing. I'm now slightly hoarse from the briefing and funnel managing.

Thank you to the 16 volunteers who enabled the event to go ahead. Juno was marshal on the course and found a massive stick 🌳

Colourful bunch

Saturday 23rd August

Written by Ben Foster

Ben, Gosia, and Juno went to help out at Fletcher Moss parkrun event number 261. 408 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on a PRIDE themed morning, with Manchester Pride taking place over bank holiday weekend.

Ben and Juno did the course check, set up, and marshalled at the Mersey point #2, while Gosia marshalled at both point #1 and #7. Lots of happy faces and colourful rainbow 🌈 outfits on a nice August morning.

Thank you to the 21 volunteers in total making parkrun accessible for ALL!

All paws on deck

Saturday 16th August

Written by Ben Foster

Ben was Run Director at event number 260 at Fletcher Moss parkrun. 455 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course.

Managed to get enough volunteers, 20 in total, so thank you to all of you, especially those who filled in for new roles or with barcode scanning after the run.

Some incidents with misbehaving dog owners (short, hand held, non-extendable leads only please) and impatient overtaking. Incidents reported.

Results took some processing with the tokens in an odd order, but managed in the end. Thank you to those handing out the tokens who noticed so knew how to alter things.

Onto the Pride event next weekend. Hope to see more GoodGym support there!
