On Saturday I had a long run to get in but I still wanted to get my weekly parkrun fix! So I arrived at Upton Court park at around 06:45 to fit in 13 km before doing parkrun.

As I drove in I noticed that the car park was FULL of litter! And this did not look like a fox having a party! It was household rubbish of watermelon, egg cases, food waste and containers.

I knew if I started picking the rubbish up first I wouldn’t get my run in so I decided to run first then give the car park a go!

13km done and dusted so I got out my litter picker and filled a large black bag full of rubbish before doing 1 more km to the start of parkrun!
