Sutton Park parkrun – The One We Ran As Sharks

We went to Sutton Park parkrun and ran as sharks as part of their 7th birthday celebrations.

Thornbury parkrun – Is it a Slightly Hilly Course?

We headed to Thornbury parkrun which is the last of the parkruns that have any vague association as being a Gloucestershire parkrun.
