Maureen was Run Director for the day, with a couple of special mentions before the Off. Susan Smith was embarking on her 50th parkrun. Congratulations Susan. And Emily Forrest was undertaking her 50th Volunteer stint. Well done and thank you Emily, one of a succession of youngsters we’ve been lucky to have at Levengrove as they work towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Along with Emily, RD Maureen had the backing of a further 17 Hi-Viz heroes in delivering another huge success. As ever, very many thanks and take a bow: Kirsty Ormond, Theresa McIntyre, John Whoriskey, Sharon Goldie, David Kennedy, Paul Lyden, James Hunter, Wilson Hamilton, Emma Crawford, Gerry McElroy, Jennifer McAtear, Ann Crawford, Lawrence Malley, Sophie Atkinson, Lorraine MacLeod, Jim Belk and Lily McBride.

Sharon’s busy First-Timers Welcome today is followed by a stint as RD next week. We are still looking for several Marshals to complete the Roster so if you’re able to help out it would be greatly appreciated. Either drop your name in the comments below or email us at levengrove@parkrun.com

Meanwhile, have a great week and see you Saturday.
