Good evening parkrunners

We’ve got a full roster and we’re ready to go in the morning

It’s no great revelation that tomorrow’s event is #666, so let’s hope it won’t be an apocalypse with the usual protocols in place: first timer/visitor briefing just after 7:50, followed by the main briefing and a start as close to 8:00 as we can get

Please don’t forget your barcode, please stay on the path at the start, keep left and be courteous to other users of the path

A coffee van has got a permit and has indicated that they will be present in the carpark tomorrow morning. So if you need a caffeine burst after your parkrun, they’ll be there for you.

See you all in the morning parkrunners.

It's Friday eve, and would you believe - we've mostly got all the roles covered, so going ahead we've achieved. Our volunteers are the best, better than all the rest ;) If you want to put that idea to the test - then sign up for a spot next week (the 12th) - it's a MESS!

But, as for tomorrow, come sun or come rain - we will be there at 7:50am to explain - the course to those who are new or have travelled here too! For the rest, come dressed in your best guess for the weather - just make sure dogs are on a short hand held tether.

As is always the case, please spread out based on your pace - we will be widening the cones' location, to allow for a nicer flow at the start presentation. Please keep left and be kind - say passing if coming from behind. ;)

We are thrilled to have you come run with us, so without further fuss - see you tomorrow don't be a sourpuss ;)
