Double Parkrun
This week provided an end of year treat of two parkruns within the space of three days, with several events around the country putting on an extra run on Christmas day itself.
Sadly for us, Simmons Park parkrun wasn’t on for Christmas, so several ORC’s did some travelling, spreading festive cheer to Chelmsford, Woolacombe, Exeter Riverside, Tamar Trails and Maidenhead. For anyone fancying a Christmas day run next year, the list of venues hosting a run on Christmas day are available on the parkrun website.
On Saturday, the ORC’s were out in force at parkrun, working off all the mince pies. A special mention to Sophie who came in as first female in an impressive 21:01.
Burrator run
On Boxing Day, there is an annual run around Burrator reservoir which starts at 11am from the Dam. Everyone is encouraged to put a present in santa’s sack and take one when they finish.
It is not a race, there are no timings or marshals, just a nice sociable run. This year Keeley completed it and had lots of fun, enjoying the large amount of fancy dress on show.
