Juno and I went to help out at Fletcher Moss parkrun event #243. 493 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course, including a bride in full white gown and veil.
We did the course check, which was perfect now the tree near marshal point 1 has been trimmed so not blocking half the path. We helped set up and marshaled at Old Bedians.
Very sunny morning and lots of happy runners/walkers!

Thank you to the 514(ish) runners and walkers who completed Fletcher Moss parkrun event # 242. Even bigger thank you to the 20 volunteers who helped ensure the event ran smoothly.
I was RD so coordinated the volunteers (we were looking a bit short Thursday morning), set up the start/finish area, and tried my best to manage the funnel but with so many numbers, there are always a few funnel duckers!
Wonderful morning for it and the new speaker was super helpful! Even I was heard for the briefing!

Juno and I spent an hour or so picking up litter in Longsight and Birchfields Park. Collected 2 full sacks mostly of Miami Crispy takeaway waste, drinks bottles and cans, and several dummies.
Update: picked up another couple of bags in Longsight on Sunday morning too
After dropping Juno home, I ran to Fletcher Moss park to give the 1st timers briefing and marshal at Old Bedians rugby club (#5) for event number 240. 416 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course.

Before the canoe litter pick, I helped with some of the set up and barcode scanned at Fletcher Moss parkrun event #239.
435 runners and walkers completed the 5 km course on a clear but nippy Saturday spring morning. Managed to get a run there and across to Burnage afterwards.

Approximately 475 runners, joggers, and walkers completed the 5 km course at Fletcher Moss this morning. Juno and I ran the course to check for any puddles or fallen branches/trees (thankfully there were none) and helped with the set up and marshal at Mount Fletcher (more of a slope than a mountain or hill...).
It was warm and sunny so we had bumper numbers with ~475 with the finish funnel tailing back out past the finish line! We helped a bit with barcode scanning and clearing up at the end before the run home.
