Langport Northstreet Moor Fun Run April 12 th and May 3rd

Langport Northstreet Moor 1k and 2k fun run report.  April 12th

Lovely sunshine again for our 6^th monthly run. Eight first timers and nine regulars who achieved four PB's between them. It was great to see two runners keeping the Easter spirit going by dressing up for our Fun Run. I really appreciate their contribution.

A family atmosphere is developing with brothers and sisters coming to try it for themselves and all very welcome. We hope the small treats waiting for the finishers on this occasion were a suitable reward for their hard work.

Pleased to welcome Martin Chaffey with his daughter Ellen for the first time. Martin plays a big part in the Yeovil Montecute 5k parkrun and has given us encouraging support. I personally recommend our older runners consider trying the bigger run or even part of it. It has a friendly and relaxed approach to running which we try to copy.

Here are todays results: (Figures in red are for the 1k run and PB shows a new personal best time for the event over the 6 runs )

The next event will be on May 3^rd and will see a change to the course and the starting point which will be at the Tesco end of the path. The 2k run will now extend along the river bank to the railway bridge and return the same way to finish back near the Tesco footbridge. This will be a single lap of 2k. The 1k run will start at the same point but only use the path to near the river as at present and return to the start. We hope this will be an improvement for the runners.

We have talked to the Tesco store management and they are happy for us to use their car park on a sunday morning.

Thanks to all our runners and parents and grandparents. Thanks for volunteers for marshalling and carrying out the various tasks which are essential to the success of our run. Please spread the word about us and keep running till next time.

Regards,

David and Jackie.
