Town Moor parkrun

Well done to everyone who completed this morning’s Town Moor parkrun and thanks as ever to our wonderful volunteers for making the event possible.

There was an issue with the first results upload which omitted a few people from the results but this has been resolved and everyone’s times should be online now. If you have any results queries please email [email protected]
