Event number 770
12th September 2026

Perfect conditions for parkrun this morning! 532 people completed the course, including 71 first timers. 66 people recorded PBs. Well done all of you. 26 people were doing their very first parkrun this morning. We really hope you enjoyed it and will come back for more.

Congratulations to Alison Mosca who has completed 150 parkruns, and to Moira Richards who has volunteered 50 times. Many thanks, Moira, especially for all the support you have given to people through being Tail Walker or Parkwalker.

Today was Pete Chambers’ last volunteering stint as Run Director. Pete is stepping down from the role but hopes to be back as a volunteer for future events. We marked his departure with some delicious banana cake (apparently made with bananas left over after last week’s RunNorwich 10k!). Thank you, Pete, for all you’ve done for Norwich parkrun - over 10+ years - and thank you, Mary, for the cake.

A big thank you to all today’s volunteers. It wouldn’t happen without you all.
