The sun was shining at the start of the briefing at Windmill Hill, the Run Director of the day even said “it’s a good day for a run so they won’t need lots of extra motivation” - the kiss of death for the weather.

Off we went to our marshal spots and within seconds the sky had darkened and the rain started and soon became torrential. Then came the hail, and the warm-up was quick and the start almost at 9am, after some milestone wristbands had been awarded to soggy junior parkrunners.

My puddle was growing and I had a few takers for “through the puddle” but by far the majority for “around the puddle”.

Our other junior parkruns had similarly changeable weather but we all had lots of smiles and amazing running and walking from the kids - a great start to a Sunday.
