It was a pleasure to welcome two representatives from the RNLI, one of our chosen charities for this year. They gave a brief insight into the invaluable work they do and the difference they make within our local community. We were delighted to present them with our donation during the evening.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to supporting such a worthwhile cause.
We also celebrated our Zero to Heroes — runners who started at 0–5k and are now going from strength to strength!
We also presented Value of the Community Awards for our amazing parkrun volunteers, and Club Records for 2025 for those who broke (and held!) club records this year.
Huge congratulations to all our winners — and here’s to another brilliant year of running together! 💙🏃♀️🏃♂️
