Fletcher’s Cove Parkrun event #474
Wow, what a big turnout we had today, with Hardy Middle School and their families among our 156 participants! We had one milestone and a few visitors from Mexico and Boston. For the first time in a long time, it happened: there was no tail walker! We did not realize that until late, so poor Fiona, the course marshal, had to wait a bit longer. But all ended well, and we all applauded when she came to the finish, still smiling!

Fletcher’s Cove Parkrun event #473
It’s an overcast kind of day which is great for Parkrun or any run! Fletcher’s Cove parkrun was delighted to welcome young runners and walkers from Eaton Elementary! Many were first time parkrunners and everyone had an amazing time.

We also welcomed visitors from several different states and as far away as the UK, and we were delighted that our UK visitors were able to help fill two volunteer roles.
Wendy Davidson was the event photographer for today, thanks Wendy.

Fletcher’s Cove Parkrun #472. There was a marathon/half marathon race at Fletcher’s Cove today, and they took all the parking spots! Even down near the river, the lots were completely full. I, the volunteer photographer, had to circle around and wait for a spot to open, so by the time I got to the start, everyone was already out on the course. But I managed to catch quite a few good shots! We had a total of 75 Parkrunners and our wonderful volunteers. It was a good day indeed!

Fletcher’s Cove Parkrun # 471 was a blast!
Gentle temps gave us 11 Personal Bests! We were also proud to have 5 participants brand new to parkrun and 2 more who ran at Fletcher’s Cove for the first time. Special kudos to Caleb who not only hit his 50th parkrun today but also got a PB!! And many thanks to the ever-thoughtful Maria and Nancy for the refreshments, special made cookies and decorations.

Fletcher’s Cove Parkrun #470.

What a beautiful day with the perfect temperature! We had seven people who did their first-ever parkrun, and another ten who were brand new to Fletcher's Cove. Add in another five personal bests, and there was a lot to celebrate. There were 72 grand total participants. The event went so well that we decided to do another one next Saturday - hope to see you there!

Fletcher’s Cove event #467

What a chilly and windy day with broken traffic lights at the entrance of Fletcher’s Cove. That didn’t stop the enthusiastic Parkrunners to show up! There were 74 participants plus our wonderful team of volunteers! A few first timers and a visitor from Finland. Bill Iverson-Day’s 100th volunteer milestone. Dean presented a very special person pin award to David who has been a dedicated and devoted volunteer at Fletcher’s Cove for many years. Thank you David and Dean.

Fletcher’s Cove event #466. What a beautiful day after the night rain. The puddles are all over the course, which made it a bit difficult to maneuver, but still way better than ice! There were several milestones, one first-timer who ran his first Parkrun ever. There were 67 Parkrunners and 13 wonderful volunteers.
