As Gorleston Parkrunners assembled on Saturday, the sky over the North Sea was black with rain clouds. 125 intrepid souls were rewarded for their bravery with a sunny route and, on the clifftop, a cool breeze. They were led by Bungay Black Dog Ted Oldman in 18.20.

The rain held off and 22 people attained personal best results. There were 13 first-timers including visitors fron Tyneside, Royston, Felixstowe, and Bedford. For those who are interested this is not a race, merely a timed trial. Walkers, joggers are made welcome and the accent is on enjoyment. Next month a Mad Hatter Tea Party is planned. For anyone wanting to start jogging or running please contact Chris on 669179.
